1999 3.1L 200 Hp Yamaha. The battery is new 800 CCA.

Engine can sit for over a week, and the first start is instant. Subsequent starts during the day require numerous tries, with trottle play. I often have the boat in very shallow water, so starting with the engine almost completely raised is necessary. Gas in tank is new.

What are people adding to fuel that contains 10% ethenol these days?
