Modern 2-cycle oils help to prevent engine damage in older outboards,
but with the push of Ethanol, it can really be bad unless they can
come up with a really good emulsifier blend.

I will say that's one advantage to running Mercruisers with Chevy
engines, they can even run on e-85 (but not well)


Maybe Tom's got a real point with Etec's.

Sorry to sideline, vic. But yes, the fuel and ag companies are pushing
the corn squeezin's really hard, and the stuff isn't really that
economically, efficiently, and environmentally great.
