Watch too early for winterizing.
I'll wait until late October or early November just in case a nice

day blows up from down south.
We've just gone from a crappy damp windy two week period but
expect
this week to be sunny and mild.
Trouble is, the tide cycle is against me for launching and
retrieving at most ramps.
Guess I'll go to a lake today or tomorrow.


What's to winterize Donnie? Put the leg down and throw a tarp over
the
boat. You're done.

That's the nice thing about outboards.

Should probably fog the engine also with the low usage.

Old school mechanics used to "pickle" 4 stroke inboards for the
winter. Nothing fancy like "fogging oil". My father-in-law used to
pickle the engines in his old Uniflite by starting them up and slowly
pouring regular motor oil into the carbs until the engines died due
to lack of air. Half a quart of oil per engine was all it took. He
religiously did this every fall for over 20 years.
