This is interesting.  I’m in the run-it-dry camp, unhooking the fuel line and letting the motor run out while I put away stuff once back in the slip.  But I also put fuel stabilizer in the tank, so I guess I’m in both camps.  I also use ethanol-free gasoline, whether 89 or 93 octane (does that really make a difference for an outboard?  I don’t know.)
