Winterizing fuel injected fitch?

[RendezvousMAN]

I have a general idea in how to winterize a motor. I have a 1990 johnson and I use the fogging oil with the threaded fitting on it. I spray the whole can in while running it and then spraying the rest of the can in each cylinder. I was ondering if there is anything special I need to do to make sure my 2000 fitch motor stays running good after the winter season. I always change my lower unit oil so thats not a big deal. thanks

if you are going to store with gas in it...use a stabilizer like Marine stabil...run the engine a bit so the mix is in the fuel system.....then fog it like u have been....change the lower end oil prior to storage in case any water is present in the lower end....

and keep the batteries maintained over the winter

Found this on THT website:

"... Bombardier and he told me its much better to run the motor on a "soup mix" of fogging oil, gasoline, two stroke, and stabil from a seperate small gas can. He said this is the best way to winterize a fuel injected motor and its right out of the Bomb/OMC service manual."

Makes sense to me.
