recommisioning an outboard

[KJLane]

Prior to this winter, my dad and I had always winterized our boat ourselves. This year we brought it into the marina and had it done professionally. We were told that prior to the new season we needed to bring the boat back in to be "recommisioned" before we could fire it up. This is of course something that we never did in the past, and never seemed to have problems with.

Can anyone offer information on getting an outboard ready after the winter? Any advice would be appreciated. Outboard is a '99 Yamaha Saltwater Series 225 direct injection.

Recommision? (thats sounds like boat business terminology for another $100) All they did was fog the motor.

Just run the motor to burn off the foggin oil,
do the other usual things that need to be done
as in, check batteries and all connections
change all filters
grease all fittings
change spark plugs after foggin oil is gone!
