    Ethanol Gasoline

    Anyone have any problems with your outboard associated with using ethanol gasoline? Specifically a Yamaha 150 hp Carb?

    Knock on wood, no ethanol issues in 2 years of use.

    I have a 150 carb and not problems. I use seafoam and the Marine Stabil ethanol treatment on my fill ups.

    No issues in three years of using E10 gas.

    Just be sure to use a good fuel stabilizer. The new Marine Stabil works very well. I have noticed better performance using it over the regular Stabil (much smoother idle and starts easy even after sitting for a month).

    And don't forget your anti-carbon additive...either Seafoam or RingFree.
