Follow the manual's recommendation as closely as possible. The new marine engines are very particular about the temp that they run at as well as the fuel they use. That is why no marinas here even carry 87 octane fuel - the marine engines are just not built to run on anything less than 89 octane. If people persist in using lesser fuels, it may run OK for a while, but they will pay for it in the long run.

The other false economy relates to filling your fuel tank from portable (5 gal) gas cans. That is the best way I know of to introduce water into your fuel system. Most of the marinas on Lake Martin have new fuel systems that are incapable of pumping water with their fuel, but if there is any water or condensation in a 5 gal can and that can is inverted to fill a boat tank, guess what goes into the boat first? Most 'water in gas' events that we see are from a boat being sunk or being regulalry filled from portable, inverted tanks. People think we say this to sell more gas - that's simply not true.

People that refill their boats regularly from portable tanks at least need to replace their water-seperating fuel filter very often.
