Make a 6 gallon tank mixture of 1 16 oz bottle of Startron, 4 cups of Outboard Oil and 2 cups of Marvil mystry Oil. Connect that to your engine and run until it is warmed up and smoking from the oil, Disconect and run until empty. Replace any fuel filters and leave dry. Drain your carbs if you can get at them. Pull your plugs and spray a shot of fogging oil in each cyl. Bump engine to coat cylinders. Remove battery. Shrinkwrap and go into depression until the Stripers reach Montauk next spring. PS a trip to Oregon Inlet in January may help the depression...

Why are we talking about this... the Tuna clock is ticking!

I have heard both sides about storing this year. If you leave it near empty aren't you setting yourself up for a-lot of condensation in the tank?

i've heard that too.
my marina will not give you winter dry storage, if the tanks are not full. full tanks don't explode. less fire hazard.

plus i'd rather have 100 gallons of low octane i can boost up than a dry system
