1987 suzuki 140dt storage

DUE TO HEALTH REASONS, i DID NOT USE MY BOAT THIS SUMMER. IT WAS WINTERIZED LAST FALL AND HAS NOT BEEN STARTED. I HAD DRAINED THE GAS AND FOGGED THE ENGINE. WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW, WINTERIZE AGAIN OR JUST PUT COVER ON IT

please turn off the caps lock when posting.

I would fire it up and run for a while, at least till warmed up good, and then winterize as normal.
All of these internal combustion motors like to be run not just set up for long periods of time.

Just my opinion

If it was winterized last fall then it's still "winterized", so just put the cover on it and leave it, especially since you fogged it and bearings/crank, etc. are still protected with oily film. If it would make you feel better about it, remove each spark plug and spray more fogging oil in each cylinder, crank it over to spread oil, button it up. Good Luck!
