I have talked to 3 different marine mechanics, and got different answers. My friends mechanic was putting all the boats away with full fuel. The marina where I keep my boat in the summer was putting away boats fullas well, they both recommended fuel stabilzer and water absorber.
The Yamaha Dealer who rebuilt my engine this year, who is winterzing the boat said they always put the boats away empty or darn close, with fuel stabilzer and water absorber.
So I went with empty, his reasoning was if the new gas seperates over the winter is is a lot cheaper and easier to get rid of 20 to 40 gallaons than 160 gallons of bad gas. Also he recommends going up 1 level of ocatne for the first tank of gas in the spring to make up for any octane loss.
Now it is a wait an see what happens in the spring, to see who's advise was better.
