modern cars use carbon fiber cores..to prevent to much RF noise .
not recommended for outboards
get yourself some good solid stranded wire core at a local motorbike shop, amazon or tractor supply store 4 feet should do… some places sell it a $1/foot

Carbon core wire has resistance. That resistance will reduce the available spark to the plug. With an outboard where you are generating your own voltage, you don’t want to introduce anything to reduce it. Same reason you should not use resistor-type spark plugs.

Carbon core wire would work just fine if you could attach it to the coil.

Listen to Cosbyman and Frank! Use plain old 7mm copper core wire. You can get it a lawn mower repair shop , tractor repair shop or even an auto supply shop.
