Default Winterize my boat, or run every couple of weeks?

Sounds appealing - when winterizing, will fogging the engine be
necessary? Last thing I want is a stuck carburator...

I read that some do spray the fogging oil into the carb while the engine
is running.
I only spray into the cylinders and replace the plugs finger tight. I'm
hoping that running the motor dry with stabilized gas will take care of
the carb.

So it's reasonable to say that I should winterize it?

Yes. Google up 'Winterizing Checkist' to see what's involved. Suggest
you let the dealer do it for starters and ask to see the process when
they do your boat.

Considering that it cost what....maybe fifteen bucks for the various
supplies, why not? It'll keep you out of your wife's way while she cleans
the kitchen, and then you can tromp back in full of oil and mess it up
again. Here's a good link:
