    Creamy gray stuff in exhaust port.

    Is it necessary to put stabilizer in the fuel at every fill up? I have a friend who sugests that I do. I run my fuel tank empty at least once every three weeks. I told him that I believe that stabilizer would be used if you anticipated not using the boat for a prolonged period. If I'm right, the...
