The Boat Owners Association of The United States is surveying its members about their experiences with fuel that contains ethanol.

The 13-question survey (http://sgiz.mobi/s3/EthanolSurvey) is intended to provide an understanding of how ethanol fuels are affecting recreational boating this summer and seek comments related to the Renewable Fuel Standard.

BoatUS says gasoline use has not increased as forecast when the RFS was enacted, which forces more ethanol into each gallon of gas.

As with motorcycles, recreational boats are approved for use of fuels containing only up to 10 percent ethanol. Boating Industry magazine reported in 2017 that 92 percent of its readers have seen damage caused by ethanol.
