First time to own an outboard. Getting the Yamaha VF250 SHO and was wondering what octane is recommended? What about Ethanol? Fuel additive?

From what I've been able to glean, here are your choices (in order of preference)First time to own an outboard. Getting the Yamaha VF250 SHO and was wondering what octane is recommended? What about Ethanol? Fuel additive?
The best answers to those sort of questions are always found in the manual.First time to own an outboard. Getting the Yamaha VF250 SHO and was wondering what octane is recommended? What about Ethanol? Fuel additive?
What is the difference between ring free, sea-foam & sta-bil ?The best answers to those sort of questions are always found in the manual.
BTW, if you spend most of your time in the lower 1/3 of your RPM range, don't forget to use Ring-Free. If you spend a good part of your day with the engine running in the upper 1/3, you don't need to worry. If you spend a lot of time in the middle of your RPM range, then you can go either way. It's a judgment call, but then again, it couldn't hurt to use it.
Eric,Well, I'm not a chemist or an expert on these products, but as far as I know Ring-Free is meant to prevent carbon buildup on your rings through on-going use at low RPM, Sea Foam is an "After the Fact" engine cleaner and Sta-Bil is a fuel stabilizer for long term storage..
No, just the the gas cans I set aside for the Zombie Apoc... I mean for my generator.Eric,
Are you saying that you don't use Sta-Bil every time you fill up.
