I need to do it this weekend we are already getting frost.
So far
1.I will change gear lube in upper and lower drive and tilt quadrant.
2.remove the two engine drain plugs ( block and manifold)
3. Fill fuel tank and add sta-bil.
and normal disconnect battery and stuff.
How do I fog the engine?
Also anything else I need to do? It does freeze here and I will be most likely selling boat in spring. I had it done by the shop last year but I am running out of time. I know a lot of people reccomend engine oil change and fuel filters.

Add your Stabil to the fuel first.
Engine running of course... spray your fogging oil down the throat of the carb without stalling the motor. Once you have a heavy blue smoke coming from the exhaust, spray the fogger heavy enough to stall the motor. That's it.

Let the motor cool a bit, change your oil and drain the block and manifold.
