You probably don't want to remove the spark plugs on your F150 unless you're replacing them. I wouldn't be surprised if our plugs must be index'd anytime they're removed/replaced--to point the electrode in the proper direction of the valves.
24-SSL (2012) Express w/6 strakes, awesome cable steering because I'm cheap, big gouge in pontoon where marina staff sideswiped their dumpster, redneck emergency toilet via bucket with a toilet seat glued to it (hey, its just a toilet), polished toons and a broken ladder strap. Hoping to log my 200th trip out this year (2018).
Not sure which model you have, but here's the Verado manual, start at page 141 more
2014 24-SSLX- SPS-Yamaha F200 Top Speed 44.4mph. Saltwater Series. Tow Vehicle-2017 Silverado Z71 5.3L. Genesis tandem trailer w/brakes. MSU Grad. here
my 2017 merc specifially says remove the plugs and spray engine storage seal into cylinders then rotate the flywheel.
Sswpriz, Remove the cowling and look at the attached sticker/plate. It has Mercury and 'Emission Control Information' written across the top.Contained within the info, it will list the recomended spark plug and gap. I'm positive it'll be a NGK, probably #DCPR7E. That one is a 5/8" plug. If the sticker lists a different part # just look that up on NGK web page for the specs.
No fogging of four strokes here. Almost all the threads I've read and mechanics I've talked to said change oil, pull kill switch and crank it over for 10 seconds so everything gets coated with fresh clean oil and you're done.

Probably the best way to ensure that you maintain your highest level of propulsion is to purchase and install a new wear ring (about $50).
Luckily, there are some things you can do to help make your outboard jet run like new again.
WHAT YOU NEED: spark plug socket, extension, ratchet…. can of fogging oil, preferably the factory SERVICE & PARTS manual.
OPTIONAL: a “jumper” wire or hand held solenoid switch to engage the starter motor while you’re at the back of the boat to make this a one man job.
OPTIONAL: brand new properly gapped OE spark plugs, tube of dielectric grease [links]
