The "M" suffix always commands more $$$$$$$$$.
I'm convinced it stands for multiply ($X3).
I use wires from the auto parts store. No problems.

Wire core plug wires are just that -- they have a wire core. Carbon core wires appeared to suppress ignition interference. Run what's specified. Running the wrong wires can affect ignition system performance and perhaps even damage ignition electronics.

Mercury Outboards run stranded stainless steel core wires. I believe the OMCs run stranded copper core wire.
