Default seafoam gas treatment on 2cycle 200hp merc?

Is seafoam a good option to keep the carbs clean from season to season on a 1992 200hp merc?

Short reply...Yes.

(It's what I use and have had no problems in that area since I started using it)

I use it about every 5th fill.. although sometimes I do forget to put it in... so it goes to the 6th fill then. As long as you have fresh gas and a good fuel filter you really don't need to use it more than that... IMHO.
