[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 443379, member: 15636"] TREAT the fuel - Add stabilizer, shake tank well and run OB enough to make sure treated fuel got into the OB, at least 15-minutes. FOG - Start engine, when warm, disconnect fuel line ... wait 2-3 minutes and spray fogging oil through the intake and continue spraying fogging oil into the engine until the OB dies. I'll run them about 1,200 RPMs, as fogging oil will bog down the motor, but you want to keep it running until she runs out of 'treated' fuel. OTHER - Top off the cells in your battery, wait 3-days, then give it a charge before putting away. LUBE - I take a few minutes to clean off the OB under the cowling/hood and I spray down any moving parts with a good lubricant. STORE - Leave the OB vertical. If in freezing climates, do not leave the OB tilted up, I've seen water collect in the thru-hub exhaust system and crack lower unit housings. [/QUOTE]
