Well I mixed up about 32 Oz of the "cocktail", Then saw I used the red staybill not the marine. Can I use it? or not?
Thanks
"Don's Favorite Cocktail" (IMO, this combination results in clean injectors, direct injectors and spark plugs):
-1oz Marine Stabil or Mercury QuickCare per 6 gallons fuel
-1oz Quickleen per 6 gallons fuel
-1-2oz SeaFoam per 6 gallons fuel

You've got an IM.
Red stabil really is not suitable for your marine engine.

Good question.
The Magnuson Moss Warranty Act of 1976 (as ammended) covers this subject. Manufacturers cannot "void" your warranty due to the use of aftermarket products (non-OEM). However- if the manufacturer determines that the use of an aftermarket product "Contributed to, or Caused an otherwise Warrantable Failure"- they DO have the right to deny a warranty claim.
That being said- I have no concerns about damage to your engine with the recommended dosage of SeaFoam (and it has been tested in MANY, MANY engines, without concern).
Additionally, there is ALSO a Mercury-Component cocktail that I recommend (it gives VERY simialar results, and has VERY similar chemical makeup):
1oz Mercury QuickCare per 5 gallons fuel
1oz Mercury QuickLeen per 5 gallons fuel
