[QUOTE="Waterwings, post: 109110, member: 123"] The other rig I used to own was outside 24/7 (wouldn't fit in my garage), and I'd drain and change the lower lube, tilt the motor (50hp Merc) down, fog the cylinders, and then wrap the motor with a 1/4" closed-cell foam sleeping pad that went all the way to the ground, then I'd cover the boat with a sturdy tarp (over the regular boat cover). The sleeping pad kept the freezing wind off of the motor, and I never had a problem. The batts were pulled prior to covering the boat, then stored in the garage, and I'd do a maintenance charge on them over the winter. [/QUOTE]
