You mean to tell me I can store my battery on concrete? I been sticking boards under them for years. Not sure what you mean about the ethanol myth but don't think you will talk many boaters into liking that water adsorbing fuel line rotting stuff.

I had a 2001 merc 200 a couple of years ago and had mine took off too. A very knowledgeable merc mechanic said he would do it if it was on his boat, but he build high performance outboards for racing so there is a different mind set there. I always liked to run my oil a little heavy due to better lubrication, but it dose hurt performance some to do this.
