Thread: Winterizing outboards

    Others have told me the same thing. They said that since is a 2 stroke it will leave some oil residue in the cylinders so no need to fog it.
    If your motor is running right when you drain the water and put stabil in your gas, dont worry about it. You can put fogging oil in it if you are really anal but in 30 years of outboards I never have and not one failure dur to it.
    I run my little outboards (40hp) in Ill with 10 below for duck hunting and the only thing I ever did was make sure the water was out when on trailer. BTW, they sat outside ALL winter.

    Yep. Also drain and change the lower unit oil and If it was ran in salt water flush the bejeesus out of it. Actually it should be done EVERY time. I never run my boat in it.

    I figured that also but Ill still fog the cylinders to be sure.
