Guys,
I picked up some SeaFoam at West Marine today. What is the best way to use this? Can I just add it to the gas tank and run it in the water? Thinking about going to st. marks saturday. Is it safe to run the seafoam in the river/ocean? I didnt know if this has to be ran through the motor out of the water or not? Thanks for any help!

I've been using Sea Foam for a number of years now and wouldn't be caught without it. Just add it to your gas tank according to directions...it definitely will add to the life of the motor. I have a 1988 Johnson 88 H.P. motor and it has been used strictly for saltwater fishing since 2001. It sets up as long as 6 months without cranking and once cranked, it will always crank on the first turn. Another product that I would swear by is Johnson's 6 in 1 Lubricant to spray the motor down after each use...it does not affect the wiring and my motor looks new. My motor is 26 years old and I use it on a 23' Carolina Skiff. I hope this info is helpful.

PUT IT IN THE GAS TANK AS PRESCRIBED ON THE BOTTLE, BEEN USING IT SINCE ETHANOL CAME OUT IN THE GAS. I ALSO HAVE A 1985 EVINRUDE 85 H.P. AND SHE STARTS EVERYTIME. I TRY TO CRANK THE OLD ENGINE AT LEAST 1 TIME A MONTH USING RABBIT EARS IF I DO NOT GO FISHING;

Put it in the the gas tank and let her rip. It'll say the mixture amount on the back. I used it the first 4 months of owning my motor due to ignorance of the previous owner using ethanol based fuel. That mixed with non ethanol fuel has had my motor purring like a kitten ever since...that and because she's a yamaha :-D :thumbup: ! Good luck with it!

I use it all the time in my motorcycle and my other vehicles. It is some good stuff.

You can put in the tank to keep your carb clean and if your jets are already a little junked up, you can pull some straight into the carbs and it cleans them remarkably well too.
