Here in Hawaii this was a big problem. Not only for boat owners but for people's lawn mowers and all kinds of gas powered things. Even if the ethanol doesn't affect the tank itself it acts like a solvent and desolves contaminates that have been there for a while clogging fuel filters. Some have had success replacing their filters often. Now our harbors offer ethanol free fuel. If it is something that concerns you, you should shop around and see if there is a place in your area that has ethanol free.
