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.

WD40? Uh...no.

Jesus, Herring, you have a new $12,000 engine there. Why not spent $175
and have it properly winterized by someone who knows enough not to ask
about squirting WD440 into the spark plug holes.

Are you sure he's a good friend?

WD40 is a water displacer, not a long term lubricant or protector. Wrong
stuff for the application.
Learn about fogging oil and the process of using it.
