Re: winterizing o/b
When positioned vertically, outboards are self draining and no forced drainage is required. Change the lower unit lub. Put Stabil, SeaFoam, or your choice of fuel stabilizer in the fuel. Run the engine until the stabilized fuel has reached the carbs. Then fog the engine with Fogging Oil and put it to bed. Keep the engine tilted down to avoid water from getting into the prop or other areas of the engine. Freezing water breaks things. If you are storing the boat for just a couple of months and it does not see freezing temps, just a lower unit lub change and stabilizing the fuel is sufficient in my view.
