Fuel Precautions
Use a gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 89. The H.O.
engine should use a minimum octane rating of 91. See engine
owner's manual for more information.
DO NOT use gasoline containing methyl alcohol (methanol).
Methanol can damage your boat's fuel system.
Gasoline Stabilizer should be added to the fuel tank when
the boat is used infrequently or whenever your boat will not
be used for two weeks or more. During storage, always add
Gasoline Stabilizer to reduce gumming or tank sludge.
E-0 fuels require fuel stabilizers that are specifically
designed for E-0 fuels to help prevent moisture absorption,
phase separation and gasoline stabilization.
