    What grade of fuel in ETEC?

    Just wondering what grade of gas you guys suggest I fuel up with. My first boat with 88 Yamaha needed premium or it would feel sluggish. The last two boats with 01, and 05 HPDI i only needed to run 87 octane. What should I feed my ETEC???
    Thanks in advance!!!

    It is stated in your owners manual to use 87 octane fuel. Did you read it?

    I downloaded a copy of my 2008 manual from the net. I got a manual with my motor but also have it now in electronic format, perhaps you could get one for your motor as well via download.
