I'm not quite sure myself. I've read about it, but never actually done one.

Just did my Ox66s. Sprayed some fogger into intakes while running then shut off, removed plugs and sprayed holes, turned over motors, sprayed some more, put plugs back, sprayed everything with WD40, put cover on....see you in April....

Ok Bradford, it already the worst day of the year for me when I lay up the boat.. you don't have to rub salt in the wound!!!! But Seriously. I used to leave the boat in a few weeks longer but as I get older I don't need to be power washing in the freezing weather.....Skunk, that's precisely what I did last night and then called the shrinkwrap guy. CRAP, I forgot the batteries ..
