[QUOTE="airshot, post: 490533, member: 1183"] A lot of outboard boat motor owners may not realize that many OB manufacturers recomend higher octane fuels in their engines. Mercury for examole requires a minimum octane rating of 92 for all motors under 150 hp. On their high performance engines like Verados require a minimum octane rating of 94.... For those running regular gas, your motor issues/ problems may be the low grade fuel and not so much the ethanol in the fuel... Recently aquired a used 1992 Mercury OB and researched the mfgrs recomendations for fuels etc... Downsized from an I/O so needed to refresh my old OB motor days. Quite surprised to see the high octane fuel requirements for these motors.... [/QUOTE]
