[QUOTE="richg99, post: 448488, member: 4376"] I have a '96 2 cycle 50 hp Johnson that I've run on 10% Ethanol for a number of years. I always used Sta-Bil when I both ran and Winterized her. I use non-ethanol gasoline if I can find it. I'd worry somewhat about the rubber hoses and other rubber type fittings being affected by the ethanol. Right after I started using 10% Ethanol, I had to replace the bulb and gas line from the tank to the engine. Since then, no issues at all. I replace the spark plugs every summer, sometimes twice, but that may be because much of my fishing is on No-Wake lakes. [/QUOTE]
