and what's the reason for this,can I change to regular ground probe electrodes ?

I agree with Baker that it may be a clearence issuw. You can check this by putting the piston to the top and checking the clearence.
Personally, I'd go with what the manufacturer recommends unless there is a specific reason that you need to do something else, like Yahama recomends yamalube oil for its engines, but any high quality motor oil will work and it isnt worth the extra few dollars.
On the spark plugs, the extra cost isnt that great so I'd stick with the stock plugs.

There is less chance of fouling a surface gap plug. Remember those were the days of lots of oil in the gas and plenty of two stroke smoke. Sometimes a regular plug is the replacement for a surface gap when you need a different heat range.We have changed back and forth with no problems, there is no clearance issue.

Most answers above are good it also is that outboards
have very high voltage ign systems.. I really don`t think
ground probe would work as well .. go to a marine dealer and buy the right ones. You will have less problems..

In most cases its a piston clearance issue. The heads are so close to the piston that there is no room for the electrode of the ground probe variety. Its a design thing.

The spark is spread over the fuel better you can change yes but bend the bar to the side of the center and gap it there it makes for self cleaning ~~

due to the ignition voltage. there is always a standard replacement for them, but not the other way around.
