Default de-winterizing boat -- fuel concern

Well hopefully in the northwest we may soon get more than a few successive
days of warm weather so we can enjoy taking our boats out.

Haven't de-winterized the boat as yet but will probably do it this weekend.
But what is now concerning me is my fuel I put in the tank last fall.

Somewhere awhile back from this group I remember the practice of filling the
tank to minimize condensation as part of winterization. what concerns me
now is the use of ethanol in our gas. In a conversation I had with my
mechanic today he told me that over time the ethanol will seperate from gas.

Should this be a concern?

thanks
