Fuel in 1989 85 HP

[LukeB777]

I have a 1989 85 HP and have heard that ethanol in fuel can eat the rubber hoses in old outboards. My question is is it ok to use the high grade Non-ethanol fuel or will the added octane overheat/hurt the powerhead? Thanks

Won't hurt.But replace the hoses cause Ethanol will eventually get to you.J
