SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use unleaded gasoline with a
pump octane rating of 86 or
higher.
Your outboard motor is certified
to operate on unleaded gasoline.
Unleaded gasoline produces
fewer engine and spark plug
deposits and extends exhaust
system life.
Never use gasoline that is stale,
contaminated, or mixed with oil.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the
fuel tank.
You may use unleaded gasoline
containing no more than 10%
ethanol (E10) or 5% methanol by
volume. In addition, methanol
must contain cosolvents and
corrosion inhibitors.
Use of fuels with content of
ethanol or methanol greater than
shown above may cause starting
and/or performance problems. It
may also damage metal, rubber,
and plastic parts of the fuel
system.
Engine damage or performance
problems that result from using a
fuel with percentages of ethanol
or methanol greater than shown
above are not covered under
warranty.
