for winterization. Any suggestions on best brands?

Also, a good friend and auto mechanic suggested removing the plugs on the
outboard, spraying the cylinders with WD40, spinning the engine a couple
times, and then putting the plugs back in.

Yep, I think that is exactly what YOU should do.

Everyone else should use the proper fogging oil that actually sticks
to surfaces for more than a few hours, and does some good. WD40 will
actually dilute and wash off any crankcase oil that remains on
surfaces, so it's worse than doing nothing.
