I recently moved to Western North Carolina after 30+ years in New England where I have always winterized my 86 Yamaha 150. However, here in WNC we get some pretty decent fishing days throughout the winter, so I am tempted not to go through the winterization process down here. Should I be OK if I make sure to start and run the motor (at least on the muffs) for several minutes every 60 days or so if I am unable to get on the lake as often as I would like? Or should I just go ahead and fog the engine after each use? I always have fresh gas and stabilizer in the fuel system.
My one concern regarding fogging repeated times is the repeated removal and reinsertion of the sparg plugs. Seems I read that once the compression ring on the NGK's was "squashed" they should not be re-used. Don't want to keep replacing good plugs.
Perhaps I'm just being anal about a simple issue?
