    Re: Seafoam and Marine Stabil (lunker56)

    I just added Marine Stabil to the tank of my Yamaha F150. I think it's too new to know if it will actually work as indicated, but I've had good success with regular Stabil and it's cheap peace of mind. In my Yamaha, I run Yamaha Ringfree, but use Seafoam in my personal vehicles, lawn equipment and my Johnson 25hp tiller outboard. I'd be interested in thoughts on the new Marine Stabil as well.

    I use Marine Stabil in my F150 at every fill up. I have not had a problem yet. I don't use anything else. Marine Stabil has everything in it Seafoam does except the upper cylinder lubricate.

    If you go on the StaBil web site, they have pretty impressive pictures of their corrosion tests using StaBil Marine.
