VRO with Stabilizer

[whofan]

My Johnson mechanic said I should only use the OMC/Bombadier stabilizer,because others could damage the diaphrams in the VRO pump. Anyone have a second opinion on this? I would just as soon use STA-BIL as with my other equipment.

Sta-Bil is what I've been using for several years.The local John/Rude dealer is who first recommended it.I just run it through before the off season.

Early vro pumps were not alcohol resistant (isopropyl is in most stabilizers).<br /><br />My vro has a little tag that says "alcohol resistant."

Roscoe what year is your motor? Mines a 2000 70. So I should be ok.
