this is from a merc. mechanic on the Bass boat central FUEL: -All models- MAXIMUM ETHANOL CONTENT: 10%. Ethanol content may adversly affect engine performance. -See "Mercury's View of Ethanol" on Sherm's board at: http://www.bbcboards.net...14216-Standard Opti's (ALL) 87 Octane MINIMUM. -XS, XB or Racing PRIOR to 2006- CONSULT OWNER'S MANUAL! Most require High-Test! -ProXS and 250XS 2006-later: 87 Octane MINIMUM. Idle quality may improve with 89 Octane (mid-grade). -300XS- Consult Owner's Manual. High Grade (minimum 91 Octane) fuel required! Fuel Additive Recommendations: -Stabilize fuel ANYTIME fuel will not be consumed and replaced within 15 days!!! -Optis (ALL, including XS & ProXS): Quickleen in EVERY TANK OF FUEL. You CAN combine Mercury QuickCare or QuickStor Fuel System Treatment & Stabilizer (or Sea-Foam if you prefer it) with Quickleen. Use the recommended "dose" of each product per the bottle instructions. For anyone questioning Quickleen recommendation- see Service Bulletin 2001-12 (yes, it's been recommended since 2001!!!). -Quickleen may be used in ANY Mercury engine- it helps to prevent/remove carbon buildup (primary purpose). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Mercury Component Cocktail" (Chemically, this works much the same as the below mentioned cocktail, and requires less components.) Don's Preferred "Cocktail": -1oz Mercury QuickCare per 5 gallons fuel -1oz Mercury QuickLeen per 5 gallons fuel (If leaving fuel in boat for more than 30 days, be sure to also add Mercury QuickStor). "Alternate Cocktail (aka Don's Cocktail)" (IMO, this combination results in clean injectors, direct injectors and spark plugs): -1oz Marine Stabil or Mercury QuickCare per 6 gallons fuel -1oz Quickleen per 6 gallons fuel -1-2oz SeaFoam per 6 gallons fuel

Stabil ethanol treatment and ring free on every fill up. I'd spin on my head and cluck like a chicken if it keeps my motor from locking up!

Ring Free is made by Yamaha and I've used it in my Evinrude 150 for 5 years now. It was always a cold natured motor that was hard to crank.
After having the carbs rebuilt when ethanol came out. I've added 1 oz. to 10 gallons of gas and had no problems with my motor since.
It keeps the carbs clean and makes my motor much easier to crank, even if it's sat for months.
