seafoam is all you need, it is also a stabilizer so you do not need sta-bil.

I tried all of them, seafoam is all I put in now and one can every other tank when I am usin the boat a lot (26 gal tank and I almost never use more than 1/2 per day). when it will be sittin for a spell I put a can in and do not worry about bad gas.

I would check with a mech about this one, seafoam may stabilize your fuel in a sense of keeping it from " going bad" but has no ethanol treating qualities about it.

Whatever you use, you want to protect your gear from the ethanol (stabil, bio bore, bio bore EB. and carbon build up ( ring free, seafoam, bionore eb...

For ease of use and if you trust the product, I'd go with biobore eb... I've always use stabil and seafoam myself tho.

One of the better articles I have seen on additives http://www.fuel-testers.com/is_gas_additive_safe_with_e10_list.html Bio-bor is just a cleaner designed for use in Jet fuel.

I don't burn ethanol in my vehicles, got regular gas up here.
I have yet to see anything that will stop phase seperation of ethanol, it will still absorb water and break down with any additives, some just delay it longer so could be a stabilizer of sorts

You say you are already using Ring Free. Good since its recommended by who warranted your motor. You took care of keeping the motor running clean with that step. Just add Marine Stabil each time you fill up to condition the fuel itself. Ethanol fuel starts separating and "going bad" from the minute it's manufactured. Stabil is cheap and goes a long way.

Bio-bor has several products. http://www.biobor.com/

Bio-bor EB is designed to help off set the effects of ethanol.
I use Bio-bor EB regularly and Merc Quickleen once or twice a year.
