If your hoses aren't Ethanol proof, you are sitting on a time bomb. I/Os are absolutely dangerous with the E-10 fuels. They are accidents looking for a place to happen for sure. Outboards are definitely safer with E-10. If the hoses fail offshore you will be calling "SeaTow, Seatow, Seatow." Definitely better than an explosion in an I/O where you won't have time for a radio message.

I wish I could figure how to download photos from this new camera. Ernie Croft's hoses are definitely eye openers.

I checked my hoses and found one of them was mighty stiff, the first symptom of impending failure.

I honestly don't think I'd fish out of an I/O any more. They were fine (but expensive) with regular gasoline but not any more.

Does your camera have a memory card? If it does, just pull it out and stick it into the same sized hole in your computer...a window should open to walk you through the rest.

If you don't have a slot to put the card in you should have a cable that came with the camera that goes to a USB. If you have neither I'm not sure what good the camera is too you. I guess you can take the card to your photo processor for prints?

A lot of printers have card slots on them.

Yeah, I have the cable and have used the same situation with several other cameras. The new camera has a setting for downloads that I can't seem to find.
