This should take approximately one (1) minute. If the sea pump can not pump the fluid,
check that all connections are tight. If this still does not work, close off the
thru-hull sea cock and pour antifreeze into the sea strainer. Allow the engine
to suck the antifreeze out of the sea strainer.

Fogging oil helps protect internal engine components from corrosion
during long periods of in-operation. Marine engine foggers come in aerosol cans labeled

1. Remove the engine air filter.
2. Start engine and allow idling.
3. Spray fogging oil into throttle body until engine begins to choke and then immediately
shut engine off. Do not allow engine to stall as this will leave the spark plugs fouled
and make it difficult for restarting after storage. If the engine stalls, restart and re-do
the procedure. Some engine throttle may be required to get adequate engine fogging
oil in.
4. Reinstall engine air filter.
Disconnect the battery(ies) and fully charge. It is recommended to take
the battery out of the boat and store it inside. If the battery loses charge it has the risk of
being damaged due to freezing.
Check the battery manufacturer’s requirements. Some may indicate that
the battery should not be stored on a concrete surface. Check to make sure
battery is charged every 30-45 days. Slow charge using a trickle charger if
necessary.
