Never tried any octane booster nor fuel that had more than 87 octane rating. Not saying it won't work, just never tried it.
In the later model boats, there is a 12V receptacle for use with yer biscuit pump or anything else needing 12V. I guess Seadoo just didn't see the need for the early models.

in the uk we have super unleaded at 95 octane - would you need it any higher than that??

be intersted to know if an octane booster raised it above 95.

i guess all we are talking about is the fuels ability to burn quickly and completely without leaving deposits in the cylinders, with high (ish) performance engines i guess the better the fuel octane raiting the better the engine - or is this just the oil companies way of getting us to part with even more money

super unleaded in the uk is approx. $9.00 a gallon.

Not sure what kind of pumps are out there, but try the cordless/rechargeable from Seadoo. It pumps up my 3 seater and single tube, and then needs to be recharged. Works well.........

I put 104 Octane boost and go an extra 27mph faster!!!!! kidding......... don't mess around with that stuff if your boat is running fine. Some of them can have harmful additives which can cause all sorts of problems, over the longer term.

2.45 wow, we can only dream of fuel that cheap - 9.00 a gallon is from a garage on the highway -

marine gas is 20% dearer

Fuel is $1.00 - $1.10 a litre, down under for high octane and its 30deg c tomorrow yipee......

Thanks might leave the octane booster out from now on.
