Oh, such genius! How could I have been so mistaken....

Burns cooler? that IS true and sounds great in theory, but not in
practice.

Your outboard, must be re-jetted, to put more fuel into combustion.
otherwise, the engine runs "lean" and your combustion temperatures rise
dramatically. ie you over heat the thing! PLUS! on the standard
carburation, you have to burn more fuel to get the performance you
would normally have with the standard fossil fuel/oil mix.

So...

You have a) poor combustion, b) hotter ignition and 3) really poor
lubrication.

Strike 3... your out!

you know, you could actually research some of this before being so
skeptical.

Here's a good link for you. This guy pretty well backs what I've been
talking about...

But please. Load your two cycle boat up with e-85 and head out to the
lake.

And enjoy the day!
