I keep my boat very low , but the longest it sets it maybe 2 months . whenever i get ready to run it for spring i change racor filter, put 20 or so gallons of new gas and run it. after i change or check the racor immediately . My feeling is that any moisture i get through condensation can be handled with the racors if changed enough and i feel it is the lesser of the evils . I would rather deal with that than phase separation from ethanol gas. Trick is to run as often as possible i keep my boat in dry storage 5 minutes from my house and live in va beach va and can always find a nice day to run it in feb or march . My 2 cents
