Received the following email from Kingman Marina today. Offered FWIW for
those with gasoline powered boats.


Although they are doing all that *they* can do(and I certainly applaud
them for that and the ensuing heads-up), it should be noted that if
you own a 2-cycle engine...... running alcohol laced fuel is a
prescription for disaster.

The following article isn't aimed specifically at boating engines, but
it certainly outlines the problem(s).

(Funny comic at end, too.)

Those are carbed pre-mix engines Gene - not oil/gas injected or DFI
with seperate oil systems.

So far, the E-TECS have been running just fine.

I saw a couple of Contenders on the Vermilion River today when I was out
with my son teaching him about our boat (he took PS over the winter and is
"officially certified").

Both had light yellow hulls. Damn those are nice looking boats!
