Preferably an NGK boot. Any autoparts store should have one. Basically it just screws on. They are used for all kinds of small engines/powersports.

I agree, since SeaDoo's use a resistor plug, no special boot would be required, however the NGK which is OEM is more water resistant than most others.

The mine have a cap with resistor of 5000 ohm.
But the spark is weak
I test the boot and reading 10 M ohm.
Almost open
I plan to replace with a non-resistor boot

Well that probably is your problem! Also, trim back the plug wires 1/4'' to access new material and good connections when installing the new plug caps.

Anyone used automotive with not resistor boot

a old school seadoo guy
he told me if I can use it (not resistor boot)
but I have to change to a hotter spark plug
because the resistor in the boot is to protect the cdi

From factory, there was never a resistor boot, so someone must have changed them out once upon a time. You want to find caps that screw into the wire rather than crimp. Crimp ones are finicky and a pain in the marine world. You do not need to run a hotter plug. Stay with the original BR8ES. I recommend the NGK (OEM) ones. They are cheap and easy to install and last forever.
