fing a new MECH. change lower oil before the first freeze, or you could have a cracked lower unit. disconnect fuel line, drain carbs, and spray fogging oil into cylinders.

I agree. Get a new mechanic. I change the LU oil every fall before freeze up as one year I did not and the water in it froze and cracked the LU.

I also put stabilizer in the fuel before running it out. Some will stay in there somewhere I always believe.

And I like to fog while it's running. It gets the oil on the crank and rods where you need it for storage.
