I bought an XB2003 last fall with a stock '97 225 Mariner Super Mag on it. Only change in the motor since new is supposed to be prior owner had the limiter raised to 7600. Motor is stout and runs great, turns a Mercury Chopper II 30P 7200, gps shows 98 with boat ready to fish, just driver and light on fuel on a good air day.
Now, that you have the background, my question is what combination of fuel and additives should I be using? I have been running straight 93 octane pump gas with ethanol and adding either SeaFoam, Stabil or a Mercury product. So far so good, but I wanted to know what you guys say. I can only find 87 octane nonethanol gas, no 93 octane nonethanol gas locally. Also wondering about the use of ACES as an additive.
