Water in the fuel tank.

Spoke with a mechanic and he suggested to keep treating the gas with the additive, and draining the clear glass bowl when needed. My 2 stroke engine isn't as susceptible to a tiny amount of water as the newer 4 strokes or HPDI engines. Honestly....I don't like it, but until I notice some hesitation or sputtering from the engine, it's what I'll try. Having BoatUS is some insurance as well. Any signs of rough running and I'll shut it down, toss the anchor, make the call....and have a beer!

Towing insurance is like Amex... Don't leave home without it

Last time I had to be towed in from the bug light to my slip (maybe 4 or 5 miles) bill was $400 and change. Thankfully I have a towing endorsement on my boat insurance policy and was reimbursed.

going down today to pump out the tank.
I was going to do the same - keep a couple of extra fuel water seperators on board....but the price to get rid of the gas - compared to a new engine or carb rebuild far outweighs the latter....
i have a 2 stroke yamaha i just put on last year brand new with only 40 hours on it...no need to take the risk.

good luck

My marina wants to charge me 390 for fuel truck to come and pick it up plus 90 cents a gallon....

Can I buy some 5 gallon cans and take it out of there myself?
Or is it an environmental issue?
