Any recommendations on fogging oil? Or just put in a bunch of SeaFoam?

Re: Winterizing Tips...

You can probably find some at walmart in a spray can. My last trip out I disconnect the fuel line and keep spraying the carbs for about a minute then spray real heavy in the carbs till it chokes out the motor. Turn the key off (older chryslers have points and key should be in off position so you dont fry the points) remove the spark plugs and spray a bunch in each cylinder and with plug wires disconnected crank on starter a couple of times. You might want to put a drain pan under the lower unit for a couple of days because you will probably see some oil leaking from this process. Also make sure you drain and fill the lower unit in the fall not in the spring.

Lower unit was just drained and refilled a few weeks ago, has only been used about 4 times since then. Also got a new impellor.
