Tom, if I decide to pull it out of the garage every couple of weeks and
run it for 5,10 minutes, will I still need to go through the winterize
motion?


I don't mean to be rude or anything, but changing the oil and the lower unit
fluid would've taken about as long as all the typing you've done so far, and
the supplies cost less than two cases of beer. Just do it already. Winter or
not, the motor needs these things changed periodically.
