Is the fogging of the engine a must. I have a 4.3 mercruiser and I have never winterized it myself. This year I am going to try to. DOES THE ENGINE NEED TO BE FOGGED?

"No. Of course your starter may not be able to turn the engine over in the spring if stored outdoors. If stored in a climate controlled building then you could get away without doing it.

Fogging an engine provides a thin oil coating on the interior of the intake manifold, valves, rings and combustion chambers protecting them from moist air. $3.50 for the can and 5 mins. work keeps your rings from seizing to the cylinder walls."

consider spraying into the air stream until the engine stalls if you are not going to remove the plugs et al
