I recently bought a sailboat that has a diesel Westerbeke 20B Two engine, it’s slow to start so I tested the glow plugs, I need to replace them. The existing plugs are Champion CH 152 but they are not available anymore is there a suitable replacement that anyone has found?

And, in classic Westerbeke fashion, the "genuine" one is twice the price.
I can beat that. For a Universal M25 (owned my Westerbeke now), the NGK plug is $5.14 from clubplug.net. (Same price as it was 10 years ago!) The same plug with a Universal number on it from one of their distributors, like Marine Diesel Direct, is $64.90. Thats more than 12 times the price!

Must be the same outfit that sets the pricing for that Covid-19 test that guy got last week. $6400 via insurance. Another guy paid cash....$199!
