[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 370459, member: 4469"] My motor is a 2 cycle: winterizing for me: I drain the lower unit oil, check for contamination or leaks, leave it drained til spring. Take out the plugs, squirt some oil in there, turn the engine over about 5 times and put the plugs back in. Drain the bowls on the carbs. Put the starting battery on a maintainer. Verify the bilge plug is out, no water in livewell. Take off prop, clean / lube shaft, cursory check. My boat is stored inside (not heated) If it was 4 cycle, I would change the crankcase oil and filter. Tim [/QUOTE]
