Verado 350 sci - AKI vs RON octane
 
Hi,

My vrod 350 sci require 91 AKI (ron plus mon /2) in US, which is 95 RON if I am correct. But in the user manual it states 96 RON... Due to that I run 98 RON so be safe. There is no 96 RON fuel in Norway. Only 95 RON and 98 RON.

What is correct?

The 350 SCi needs the best pump gas you can find... There is no other answer..
The 350 does not have a knock sensor to detune the engine like the 300 does. You'll be buying a powerhead if you put low octane fuel in them....I assure you...

The 350s also don't like to be lugged.. Make sure you are propped for full 67-6800 rpm. If the boat wont pull the rpm the way you are loaded you ned to back off the throttle. Don't leave it pinned......or you'll be buying a powerhead...

Do I sound like Jeff Foxworthy?
