I use ethanol free and Yamaha ring free in the outboard. I think it’s worth the extra money. E10 is not ideal for an outboard.

My Gatortail gets E10, 93 octane though, per MFG recommendation. I add Stabil 360, and haven’t had any issues.

If you’re going to burn up the fuel quickly though, it should be fine.

I absolutely never put ethanol in my boat, lawn mower, weedeater, blower. That stuff is the devil.

s ethanol free gas worth using on a boat motor?
Absolutely. It’s all I use for everything except my vehicles. Chain saw, blower, 4 wheeler…

It depends.

Depends on motor. Size of fuel tank. Usage.

Generally I would not use ethanol gas in boats but if it doesn’t sit for any period of time then it would likely be ok.
