Hello,
I have looked through the site and am not sure I have found an answer to this question.............back in the late 80ies I had a Two Stroke 115 HP Mercury outboard (not fuel injected) and during Winter I had to shut-of the fuel and let the engine run out of fuel.............now I have a Two Stroke Yamaha SX150 Salt Water Series II OX66 Fuel Injected outboard and would like to know if I need to let the engine run out of fuel...........I know that this is not needed for 'vehicle' type engine but I am not sure about 2 Strokes outboard type engines?
Thanks for any help,
Patrick

Welcome to iBoats . . . we really don't like to think about winter until October :)

Since you can't very well drain that fuel injected system, maybe run a heavy dose of Stabil or Seafoam in the last tank of gas so it circulates through the entire system....you should be fine over the winter....

Thanks Mr. Graham, I use 'Stabil' in all my toys, yard equipment and will also use it in the Boat.
Thanks again,
