fuel injection cleaner
#2
If you are going to use fuel additives such as fuel injection cleaner, I would follow the manufactures recommendations for amount and frequency. Don't expect miracles in a bottle however. If you have clogged injectors, it is unlikely that a bottle of fuel injection cleaner will solve your problem, it may make it better, but not completely fix it. If you do have clogged injectors, I would have then professionally cleaned.

Your boat has aluminum fuel tanks and if you are running E-10, I would look into an ethanol fuel conditioner. Ethanol attracts moisture and moisture in an aluminum fuel tank is a disaster waiting to happen if you let your boat sit for prolonged periods of time. If you run your boat regularly, it should not become an issue. These conditioners usually have fuel stabilizers as well.

If you are running rec fuel (no ethanol), then I would look into a fuel stabilizer if you let your boat sit for more than a month or so without use.
