numby is right about fuel issues, the guys I know that have had fuel issues and have gone to very expensive multi-level filters (30/10/2 mic usually) after going thru tank clean-outs and injector and sensor changes on fairly new boats. These filters systems are usually about 750-1000 bucks. IMO The problems stems with fuel quality around here. One iffy tankful of fuel and you are toast. Further what worries me is E-15. I doubt a many marine engines will even run on that. Get used to hearing various sensor alarms go off. The problem is you don't want to go offshore when one of your engines is having fuel problems...the other engine is burning the same fuel, so you don't use the boat as much and you get a bad attitude on life in general. Putting ethanol in gas was a bad idea from all angles as I see it.

When I was in Florida, many gas stations offered both ethanol and non-ethanol and every boater I spoke to put non-ethanol gas in their boat. (most put it in their cars as well) the cost difference was 30 cents/gal. I wonder why they don't offer that up here??

BTW, yami will give you hard time about covering fuel related problems
