Add Stabil or any other fuel system treatment and run the engine long enough (on muffs or in the water) to get the treated fuel into the engine. If the engine will be in storage for longer than six months fogging is probably a good idea. Drain the lower unit and refill with fresh lube. If water or a milky looking fluid drains, you need to have the lower unit serviced as the seals are leaking. Other than that, charge the battery every month or so, store the motor vertically so it can fully drain, and put it to bed.
