I will tell you what I do Mike and you can take it for what it's worth. I run some gas with stabilizer in it thru the motor. I then change oil and filter and change lower unit lube. I also drain the carbs, you probably have fuel injectors, and take each spark plug out and put a squirt of fogging oil in each cylinder and turn over engine by hand to distribute it. Then put in plugs. I put new plugs in after I have started the engine once in spring. Honda does not recommend fogging engine thru carbs. I take off prop and store motor in down position. Being a smaller engine you can put down cellar. I also have the water pump, thermostat, fuel filter replaced every 2 years. I also take the steering apart and make sure it is cleaned and greased to avoid frozen steering next spring. Take batteries out and store down cellar, not on concrete floor, piece of wood. Also new Racor fuel filter each spring for Ethanol problems. I also drain fuel tank completely and use gas in snow blower or put in my car. Don't forget the trailer. Clean old grease out of bearings and repack in spring., especially if in salt water. One fried bearing on side of highway will teach you a lesson. That is my procedure, which I still have to do. Have fun. I won't.
