How much would you spend?

[Richard Lathrop]

Jay,

Where are you located in New Jersey? You can get ethanol free gas in 1 gallon cans at Home Depot, Lowes or Tractor Supply.

Hi Rich,

I use those cans in my equipment. I haven't tried them in a 2-stroke mix for the outboard though. I was concerned that the gas might cause problems with motor internals. I absolutely love that fuel for my small equipment though. That is actually what I was referring to with the Tru-Fuel.

I might in the future make the drive to Fort Lee which is 30-40 min from me.

I would do the rebuild myself, not really a hard job. If you aren't into it, get it done by a shop. Reliability on the water is real important.

Agreed. I've done most of the stuff once or twice, but I'd like to have a pro shop run through it, do it all 100% and properly winterize it for me to let it sit awaiting next season knowing that it'll be turn key when I need it. That takes care of the SBDB, now onto the Yamaha and Dory for Spring.

There are many gas stations that have ethanol free fuel and are not listed on these websites or apps. All around and ask them.

Other places that have ethanol free rule are marinas and small local airfields. Sometimes the small airports have more than just high o tans aviation fuel. Some of the private planes run off premium ethanol free fuel.

I happen to have a few small airstrips near me, thanks.

Good question. Depends on what kind of financial situation you are in. When I duck hunt I am in situations where most sound minded individuals wouldn't even consider doing. Given that, I depend on my outboards and I go places where I may have strong currents, wind conditions, travel miles down or up a river, cold conditions, etc. Key to me is safety. Safety for me, my kids and the guests that I take out. A 15 hp motor is fairly inexpensive as motors go. Less than a yearly lease in many cases. If you start pushing the $1k mark as quoted by a technician, I would probably consider getting a new one. You have a 21 or 22 years old motor. I would then probably sell the old one as is or trouble shoot it myself as you can YouTube everything now days. Try to locate the issue at hand and buy replacement parts or rebuild kits, etc. Fix it yourself and keep as a backup or sell it in working condition.
