We put nitrogen into our chilled water loop when we drain it to keep the moisture out.

Can't help with the oxide.

yea its a fast boat for its size. i have to run it at full throttle for 10 minuets every time i take it out fishing becasue the carbon builds up on the cylinders and that is the only way to get it off or else i will be buyin two new out boards and right now if i had to do that i would sell the boat un powwerd. but when at full throttle everybodys eyes just pop out on other boats when i pass them its kinda funny.
