If you do it through the carb it should not matter. Basically it's a light oil.
To avoid this completely try just removing the plugs one at a time and spraying fogging oil through the hole. This avoids any oil on the plugs. Either way should be good.

Or, don't do it. If the boat is going to be started up in 6 months, it is completely unnecessary.

With engine running the fogging oil does NOT enter the carburetor bowl.----There should be no concern about gumming up the metering circuits.
