Its got to mix in with the gas. Only way of that happening is to run
the engine.

how long do you plan on letting the boat sit untill you're ready to use
it?

Respectfully, All that does is coat the valves and cylinders with oil.
It does not blend stabilizer in the gas or protect the carburetor.
Fogging with VCI oil is not the same as stabilizing gasoline.
