Re: Winterizing a Honda 90 hp here
I will put stabilizer in on my last trip out (this thanksgiving in Canada) but do not do a full tank as my rationale has been that even though it is stabilized, by only having a few gallons in the tank (and it is an internal tank that I cannot get at [Lund 1776 ProV]) so in the spring I can add new gas which is fresher. Is this dumb and should I fill right up. It is a 25 gallon tank. Is condensation that big an issue? more
I have read the posts related to winterizing and am a bit confused (it really does not take much for me to be confused). I once fogged and had a hell of a time starting the engine the next year and had to take it in to a dealer. I then went back to what I used to do as a kid and just run the engine dry.
So, is either OK or do you really need to fog to keep the inside of the carberator lubed. Or is running dry as good. If fogging is necessary what did I do wrong or is it always a problem starting the next year?

2. Change the lower unit oil. Even if it's fresh you still want to change it, just in case any water got in there, because water can freeze and expand and cause serious damage. (Watch How to Change the Lower Unit Oil) more
5. Next, and this is very important: tilt the motor all the way up and all the way down. You want to make absolutely sure that every drop of water is out of the motor. Otherwise it could freeze and break something. [links]
3. Since the introduction of ethanol, adding a fuel stabilizer for the winter is an absolute must. here
