My last 3 boats have had Yamahas on back, and I've been religious on using ringfree (10:1 mix) in all of them. I am fixing to start running RedRanger's tournament boat, '99 Ranger 518 w/ Merc 200 EFI, before he hits the circuit and "GOES PRO". I was wondering what kind of fuel treatment/additive and mix that you would recommend. Thanks, in advance, for your suggestions.  Okie

Fixing to jump back in in a big way. I bet it is, though, if you're in the right area. Happy Holidays to you!

My last 3 boats have had Yamahas on back, and I've been religious on using ringfree (10:1 mix) in all of them. I would have to get a second job to be able to afford a gallon of Ring Free for every 10 gallons of gas. :-) Cant even imagine what a gallon of Ring Free costs. But Mercury Quickcleen is a relatively cheap factory recommended additive. It calls for 1oz per 5 gallons of gas(1-12oz bottle treats 60 gallons of fuel). Easy: I buy the small 12oz bottles(easy to carry/store) and add 1/2 a bottle each time I fill up one of my dual 30 gallon tanks which is rarely more than 25 gallons of gas(a little more is always better, right?). I also add Stabile if Im not using my boat regularly and theres a good(or any) chance it will sit for months.

If he hasn't already done it I would think about removing oil pump and pre mixing on that engine.

You best be more worried about a rain suit than oil.
