    I've run stabilized gas older than that through my 250XS due to two seasons of storage. It was fine.

    It actually doesn't even rise to the level of a theory. It is no more than a hypothesis.

    Common sense often fails when it comes to the behavior of objects and materials in (relatively) high energy collisions. That's why automakers spend millions testing car designs, seatbelt systems,...

    Thats exactly what’s needed. I suspect it hasn’t been done because it would be wickedly expensive. Multiple boats, multiple engines of different HP, manufacturers, etc. Tested at various speeds,...

    I've got one of each. Cool Hubs on the Ranger, grease/BB on the Sea Ray and Dexters on the ATV trailer. I've never had a problem with any of them, but like the Dexters the best.

    That doesn't apply to the engine fogging question, only freezing of the cooling system.

    I do "fog" (oil in cylinders) on my engines, but wonder about the necessity. My Corvette sits in storage...
