Mix up a heavy dose of 2stroke with gas and run it off that till it runs out (1/2 a gal or so)
Don't fog like typical 2strokes !

a half a gallon or so is way too much running time, it's a four stroke.
I'm with sea dangles, I put mine down the cellar, some years I don't even do that. Had my 97 Honda for 12 years, change the oil, impeller once in a few years and it's fine. I never winterize, just maintenance. |

Per lesson from Monahan's marine.
Run on 2 stroke long enough to get oil through fuel system (5-10 minutes)
Never use fogging oil on a 4 stroke = 1/2 a gal
I overlooked it was a small 25hp, I had a 250 |

Why Ronnie?
Not an outboard guy but I fog out my mercruiser at the same time I run antifreeze through it. I use either some fogging spray or slowly pour in some mystery oil. |

Forgot to mention this motor is permanently attached to the boat as its a side console setup. I don't plan on removing it from the boat. Also, the garage its being stored in is heated. Does this change anything?
