lots of opinions…I have always store with fully fueled carb (S) with fuel having fuel saver mixed in before my last season run. , store the engine vertically and make certain the GC drains all the water . if you have a small drain hole on the side of the GC clear it out to let any water out
drain and replace the gear oil till it comes out the top vent screw ( if you had water come out or coffe cream color oil you should reseal the GC next Spring….see utubes if you plan to do it. Some just chainge the oil mid season and don’t bother if not to severe. )Pull the prop check for mono line , grease and reinstall. Mono line is what destroys the prop shaft GC seal 🙁
to fog the innards get a can of fogging oil and spray it in the carb to near suffaction a few times. Pull the plugs after and spray the cyl. walls and rotate the FW to spread the foamy stuff
After oiling the innards one alternative (opinion) is to drain the carb by removing the lower HS needle. reinstall with the same amount of turns to take it out. fine tune in the Spring
clean and check the gap on the plugs and reinstall
tarp the whole rig and put it to bed after draining all boat cavities , remove the boat drain plug and tilt up slightly.
Put a note in the boat to reinstall the drain plug before launching 🙂
