I am. I have been using the Marine stabil. I am not sure how much it helps, but I figure it cant hurt.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

yeah, carbs & fuel pump are at risk unless they been rebuilt with new kits in the last 10 years or so. and fuel lines.
The motor itself won't mind it so much.
Its a good idea to clean out your fuel tank before your first load of E-10, else the alcohol will clean it and deliver the gunk to your motor.
