Thanks for the follow up Bob!!! I really appreciate it!!
Maybe you can call any of the Marine Repair Business's around Hilo and ask them if they are seeing any Ethanol related issues...
I bet you get a very different response [

I was in Boat House Hawaii about a year ago and was told that it was causing many problems.
If I remember correctly back in 2006 it voided your warranty to use even 10% ethanol, maybe it was E-85. Sorry I cant remember back that far [
