Winterising outboards
I will be really radical here - and post something related to boats.
I have a 200hp Suzuki outboard, bought boat & engine off a friend.
Last year I winterised, thoroughlly run in fresh water (muffs) and
emptied a can of engine fogger into the air intake it while running.
Good spray of WD40 over all mech parts under the cover.
Talking to my mate - he advised he had never done that when he owned it
- just started it once a month, and that was enough.
Be interested in views on this ... maybe running it up to warm once a
month may be better.
