Ring Free and Stabilyzer

[Geiger41]

What are both for and should they be used during the boating season.....If so how often...And what are some good brands...

I believe I've read most of the members talking about the yamalube ring free, and marine sta-bil. I use sta-bil every tank of fuel but not found found the ring free locally yet.

OK so I understand the stabilizer now....1 once per 10 gallons "In season"...so 5 ounces per tank...And winter is 1oz per 5 gallons, so 10oz during winterization.........now to the ring free......

1. "I believe Ring Free lubes the top end of the pistons and valves. I don't know if it does much, but like most people, I buy into the theory that it can't hurt. I put it in every other tankful. Its not cheap, about $19 for a 12oz bottle I think. I can't remember much you need to add to a tank of gas."

Ring Free also helps to prevent/remove carbon build up on the rings and valves. I believe that is its main purpose.
