When I have mine stored I start the engine every 2 weeks (no longer!)
and raise/lower the drive and put the wheel hard over port/starboard, etc
just to make sure everything stays free.

The boat is at a private storage location, so I'd have to contact the
owner of the building in order to get into it. I might just have to
get over there to quick connect the battery and lower the drive, but
otherwise it'd be too inconvenient to do as you suggest. I made sure
to lube up the steering line and the other things recommended in the
manual. I'll just have to trust my winterizing and check things over
well in the spring before starting it up.
Thanks much!

don't worry about raising/lowering the drive in storage. Just get it in
the full down position, and forget about it.
