Answer
Hi Raylene...Thank you for selecting the undersigned to reply to your question.

First of all, how/why are the spark plugs getting wet? Has a water journal fractured? Is the head gasket damaged or is the head warped?

An inexpensive solution is to spray the ignition wires (not the coil) and the spark plugs with WD-40. Failing positive results, consult a qualified marine mechanic.
