[QUOTE="Rick James, post: 205967, member: 3092"] So I've got a 1977 Johnson 15hp motor on my Sears 12' semi-v. I've got a handful of fishing spots that really require a pretty good distance run to get to my fishing destination. Sometimes I'll run the boat 5-10 miles at wide open throttle. My main fishing partner has said to me that with the ethanol on today's gasoline, that motors run hotter at WOT, and my motor is much more likely to let loose if I run it this way for extended periods of time. Your thoughts? Any validity to this claim? [/QUOTE]
