Never it is hard on everything and I find its better to go to the airport and get 101 low lead cheaper in the long run. There is an article about the new CARB approved boat motors having premature failure due to the E85 fuel.
.

Many Boat Owners, in recent years, have unknowingly used gas, blended with too high (unsafe) levels of ethanol alcohol. Running on gas with over 10 % alcohol in a marine engine will cause performance problems, and can also cause permanent damage to your marine motor.

Understanding the dangers and effects of alcohol gas, in addition to following all the necessary marine fuel system precautions, is now necessary to avoid any problems with E10 gasoline.

There has been much controversy, misinformation and confusion since the recent (2006) increased distribution of ethanol gasoline in the United States.

Recent marketing gimmicks by some fuel additive product companies, have confused boaters even more.  These ads falsely claim their new products can "fix" or repair ethanol water-contaminated fuel...Phase-separated fuel can not be fixed, and it must be discarded.

Even high level, reputable government authorities, have recently published information that conflicts with previous articles and bulletins written years ago on ethanol.

Marine manufacturer fuel recommendations (eg. owners manuals), which in the past, often warned against using alcohol fuels, now document that up to 10 % ethanol in gas is acceptable.

As more people are using E10, the necessary precautions and dangers are becoming more apparent and better documented.

Boaters looking for instant answers and solutions will not find them- But, increased knowledge and following all the necessary precautions can spare you from most of the inconvenience and problems with alcohol gas.

RandyJet:

I have ran it for almost two years now  and have not had any negative evects on any of my parts . I personaly know of three boats that run it and none of us are having any problem .

Believe what you want , but my 13.5 to 1 compression engine loves it , it will not run on Ave gas 100 LL ..No corrosion and I did not change anything but the carb .. and everything still looks good . If I had athe money , I would put a blower on mine and overdrive the shit out of it , E-85 love blower engines!!!

Travis : Contact the other two people in my message to you and I bet they will agree .. Go for it ..

The truth is, people who put out information about how bad E85 is, are the same ones who have never used it and actually don't have a clue about it's benefit.

Those of us who have used e85 aren't switching back.  I ran AV gas for years and think it is a great fuel.  E85 has been good for me.  I have seen no problems in it's use and it did make more power.

There are some precautions when using e85.  I have heard it will damage a fiberglass tank because of the amount of alcohol and the motor will require more fuel.  I understand some older older fuel systems have rubber or compounds that can be damaged, but I haven't actually heard of that happening to anyone.  So, I don't know how old is old.

If anyone is setting up a new system, I definitely recommend e85.  If you are running higher horsepower, use a large fuel pump with large fuel lines.
