To answer your question you should use 30wt oil. I would also tune it
(plugs, rotor, distributor and new fuel filter) before winterizing it. The
fuel filter looks like an oil filter usually mounted somewhere close to the
engine.

If I owned an inboard, I'd do the opposite - fog it, then change
everything in the Spring.

Then again, I'm an outboard guy - what do I know. :)

You definitely want to change the oil when you winterize, you don't want
the "acid oil" sitting around all winter.
