Flush the engine with fresh water. Some outboards have an attachment for a garden hose to make the job easier. Otherwise, use "earmuffs" to reverse flush outboards and sterndrives. Idle the engine when flushing, making sure it doesn't overheat, until the water flushes clean. Clean all outboard telltales with a piece of wire, and store the engine in a vertical position to make sure the water drains completely. Even a small amount of water left in the engine can freeze and cause big damage. Inboards and sterndrives require refilling with propylene glycol antifreeze to prevent small ice pockets from forming, which can crack the block. [links]

Gasoline breaks down in storage—the lighter factions evaporating off and the heavier ones forming a jet-clogging and injector-sticking varnish. The degrading action can begin in as little as two weeks, and the fuel's octane rating decreases in the process. Add fuel stabilizer to the tank and idle the engine for 10 to 20 minutes to distribute stabilizer throughout the system. [links]

On four-cycle engines, the main jets in the carb are so small that even a tiny amount of fuel left in the carb can gum them up. You need to remove the carb drain plug to extract all of the fuel.

Strapping along the ridge of the frame can be used in lieu of 2x2's or 2x4's. The strapping is thin enough to flex which makes a nice smooth arch to shape the shrink wrap. This is better for deflecting water, snow, and and ice. In heavier snow areas, you may want to use two layers of strapping for extra support as it's often knotty and weak. Use screws as it's much easier to take the frame apart and reuse. here

Moving to the stern end, wedge a block of wood between the prop and anti-ventilation plate, loosen the prop nut and pull the prop. Check the condition of the prop, hub and splines. Changing the water pump impeller is cheap insurance against water pump failure next season.
