Sorry to go back over old ground. There still seem to be issues with water in the fuel for many boat owners. Here is my advice (learned the hard way):
Try to use gas from an busy outfit that has a high turnover.
Try to leave the boat with a full tank if is is going to sit idle for more than a few days.
If the boat is going to sit for more than 30 days, use a stabilizer.
The combination filer/water separator that came with my 2000 Moomba was next to useless. Fit a quality water separator with a bleed will allow you to monitor how much water contamination you are getting. I like the models that allow you to sight the water level through a clear bowl however these are not approved for inboard gas installations.
