Loading up the Sea Foam Marine B4 winterization.

Post by 282Captain »

Loading up the Sea Foam through the gas & oil prior to putting away for season. Anyone else do this. Need to run through the 90 gallons. Shouldn’t take too long with the twins. 😂. What a wonderful 80 degree Oct 21st day.

I like seafoam for things like cleaning out the carburetor on small engines, but I don't think I'd use it as part of winterizing my boat - it seems counterproductive to fogging. It could help stabilize gas left in the tank over winter, but I'd run a separate small tank of oil mix with no seafoam to winterize.

It's especially bad to use if you have cat converters since it has a lot of oil in it.

I like Sea Foam for use during the season but have decide at this point as long as I run Ethanol free gas do not add anything.
Lots of test that show it does need additives.
