I will have a nitro 700 with a 90hp merc on it in a storage facility this winter and was wondering what stabilizer to use on it. I have Sta-bil Storage. Will this be ok, or is seafoam or something else better?

Normally you would put a fuel stabilizer into the fuel tank and run the motor to distribute it. Now spray some fogging oil into the carb throats, with engine running at idle. After she starts smoking or stalls, kill the ignition, remove the flusher and prop and drain the gear oil. Refill the gear oil, grease the fittings, disconnect the battery and charge it up. That is normal procedure at my house.... I would use fogging oil and fuel stabilizer, instead of Sea Foam.
