So I took a few shortcuts this years winterizing my '94 Force 120 because of time constraints as the boat had to be at winter indoor storage location/building no later than a certain time/day. So rather than run it on flush attachment and take it up to operating temperature and then spray fogging oil in carburetor until it stalls, then remove the spark plugs one at a time and squirt oil in each cylinder and replace plugs. I simply removed and replaced the spark plugs after squirting fogging oil in each cylinder and I skipped starting it and stalling it with fogging oil in carb. I also checked the lower unit gear oil, it was dirty but no water at all showing so I didn't change it. I also disconnected the battery but left it in the boat in the battery case. AM I OK??? I plan on changing lower unit oil in spring. The boat is indoors in storage(not heated storage, but indoors), and the boat/motor get plenty of use in spring/summer/fall, probably run it 10-12 times in the season. Will my shortcuts in winterizing this year damage anything?
