3 gallons will be more than enough. When you are done winterizing, just dump what is left into your fuel tank. It will be diluted with all the fuel, and won't hurt anything.
Re: To Fog or Not to Fog F150? more
we typically drain the VST then use the fuel primer on the remote tank to refill it. typically the F115 and F150 engines dont move near the fuel most larger displacement mercruisers and volvos do at idle. here
Fogging your motor gums up all the internals with an oily goo that doesn't readily drip off. That protects things from corrosion, which will be rampant if the engine is in cold or wet surroundings.
If my boat (OB) is in the water and calling for freezing temps, I leave the lower unit in the water overnight to keep it from freezing.
I've had gas lines freeze when the motor was fine. here
Jay, let me nit-pic even further.
While I know that those posting here will understand the distinction, I think there's a point that needs to be made about leaving outboards in the water in freezing temperatures. I bring this up for the benefit of people who may be reading the forum, but have no experience in such conditions. [links]
Re: Fogging Four Stroke Suzuki [links]
Thanks Peter_in_Maine and WillyBWright. Kind of what I figured. The procedure in the manual calls for spraying the fogging oil into the air inlet while the motor is running until it starts to smoke. Then removing spark plugs and spraying directly into cylinders followed by rotating flywheel by hand to distribute.<br /><br />Just like my old two stroke. more

Chris Holbrook on one way to fog an outboard [links]
Tip: This may be the best time to pull the boat out of the water and clean the hull as necessary. Remove any marine growth or barnacles with a thorough washing or sanding. If appropriate for your boating locale, now would be an excellent time for a new coat of bottom paint, too. Make certain to adhere to local legal and environmental requirements and appropriate safety precautions during these procedures. more
Whether it’s returning your boat to a canal behind a Florida vacation home or hitting the water the first warm day after ice-out, you want to get in and go, not spend time performing tasks that should have already been done. Or worse, fixing damage created in the offseason. Take proper precautions. This is not the time to hurry or compromise. Your Yamaha dealer has the goods if you prefer to DIY. Otherwise, they will be happy to take care of these procedures for you.
Tip: Don’t wait to call your dealer about winterization. The threat of the season’s first freeze is too late!
Tip: Charge batteries fully before storage, and have them load tested to make sure they’re going to be up to the task come spring. It’s best to check the charge monthly and keep them topped off if you can. If your outboard’s stored outside during the cold winter months, don’t risk them freezing. Bring your batteries indoors to a cool, dry place.
