But don't put ethanol in the tank of your outbboard, it will kill the motor, actually it kills the fittings along the internal fuel line. I can advise about a couple of ethanol free gas stations near Olympia and Shelton.

Jim,
Strained Sterno makes a lousy Martini.
The color of the Martini is all wrong; and it ruins the taste of the olives.
I'll stick to medicinal alcohol.

Jazzy,
You can drink medicinal alcohol; but not denatured alcohol.
Be careful; the first makes you happy; the second makes you blind.

Hiya, yes that's what it is. Even came with a jug of alchohol, wanted to drink it wiring the mast but I resisted. The solar panel doesn't say anything on it, but here's the controller... alas boat time is over :( I keep seeing more..and more...
