    Yamaha Ring Free Plus

    We've always used Ring Free in our Yamaha 150 V-Max since it was new. We've never had the first problem with the engine. Has anyone used Ring Free Plus? If so, do you recommend? Thanks.

    With commercial fuel relying heavily on diluting gasoline with Ethanol I would highly recommend using a ethanol treatment of some kind. There is plenty of documented evidence that supports the destructive nature of ethanol in outboard motors. It would be well worth the few dollars a year invested in additives/treatment than replacing an entire outboard because of ethanol. Even if it won't cure the destruction of your outboard it very well may at the very least delay the breakdown of rubber gaskets/hoses and at least extend the life of your motor. That alone makes it well worth it to me!

    I use ring free and staybil every time I get gas. It does not cost that much and the cost of a damaged motor is a lot more that you are saving by not using it.

    We've always used Ring Free since we bought the boat. Ring Free Plus came on the market a while back. The plus part of it is supposed to be an ethanol stabilizer incorporated with the carbon deposit remover. It's a very good idea in theory but just a little spooky to think about changing when we've had such good luck with regular Ring Free.

    Using zx150's example, a person would only have to use Ring Free Plus instead of Ring Free and Stabil, that is if Ring Free Plus does what it's advertised to do. I'm just wondering if it really does cover both bases.

    I've run Ring free in my Yammy since it was new. Is it totally necessary maybe not but it really can't hurt and it makes me feel good......
