I just got this boat and the previous owner told me to only use expensive gas. I looked in the ,manual and it says 87 octane is fine. Now, if he has been using high octane the since he's had it for the last few years does it matter if I use lower octane or do I need to put the higher in? Also, can I use seafoam and marine sta-bil as well as the mercury suggested fuel additive all at the same time?
He also told me that when shifting from forward to reverse and back to always do so quickly so as to not grind gears? What if I am trying to make minor adjustments like when approaching a dock?
My previous motor was a tiller and an older one at that so this is new to me. Thanks!
