with synthetic oil, do you need seafoam or ring free in a 250 proxs?

[basscfo]

I am on my second optimax, this one is an 09 250 pro XS. i only run merc synthetic optimax or DFI 2 cycle oil, and run the green/blue(i'm colorblind) stabill in all my fuel. I know the yami hammer guys all advocate ringfree or seafoam, but I do not hear those things mentioned much around the black engines. is there a need to run those additives if you are burning the synthetic oils or not?I would appreciate your experiences with this.

Here is what I do (from Mr. Don Weed @ European Marine):

Fuel Additive Recommendations:
-Stabilize fuel ANYTIME fuel will not be consumed and replaced within 15 days!!!
-Optis (ALL, including XS & ProXS): Quickleen in EVERY TANK OF FUEL. You CAN combine Mercury QuickCare or QuickStor Fuel System Treatment & Stabilizer (or Sea-Foam if you prefer it) with Quickleen. Use the recommended "dose" of each product per the bottle instructions. For anyone questioning Quickleen recommendation- see Service Bulletin 2001-12 (yes, it's been recommended since 2001!!!).
-Quickleen may be used in ANY Mercury engine- it helps to prevent/remove carbon buildup (primary purpose).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mercury Component Cocktail" (Chemically, this works much the same as the below mentioned cocktail, and requires less components.) Don's Preferred "Cocktail":

-1oz Mercury QuickCare per 5 gallons fuel
-1oz Mercury QuickLeen per 5 gallons fuel
(If leaving fuel in boat for more than 30 days, be sure to also add Mercury QuickStor).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Alternate Cocktail (aka Don's 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
