Need some advise

No you can not run the motor for 1 second without water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It can wait for a above freezing day no problem. I hasve even gone and removed the spark plugs filled with mystery oil and then just tyurned the motor over with out starting befpre.

Foging the motor has nothing to do with the cold!! It is just to oil thre internal motor parts so they don't rust up from sitting around for a long period.

Also don't forget the lower unit! That will be junk if you wait till spring and it got water in it over the summer.

So no worry!! You have time! ;)
