| I have a 75 HP Mariner, and when I bought the rig 8 years ago......of course, right before 4 strokes. Now try to get rid of it to upgrade. You have to sell it for scrap......anyway, I picked it up in a deal from Mercury, and when I got the motor the guy in the shop told me to use "Dry Fuel" religiously. I thought that just because it was a Mercury product, that he was just hosing me. Well I did some research, and found out that what you need in your fuel is an agent that gets the water out because of all of the added condensation caused by ethanol. When I fish The Mississippi River, I can get gas without ethanol just by crossing the bridge into Iowa. I bout 4 - ten gallon cans that I use in my outboard, but if I have to fuel up anywhere else, I always throw some Dry Fuel in, and I haven't had to do anything but change the plugs in 8 years. Of course I've always been a Mariner fan, and have never had any problem with the 3 that I have owned. I'll continue adding Dry Fuel, and once or twice a year I'll add a bottle of carb and injector cleaner, just to help.
