2 stroke, what you really have to do is run the engine dry. disconnect the fuel lines and let it run until it dies. get all the fuel out of the system. as over winter, the fuel will evaporate, leaving the oil behind, which gums up your fuel system and often results in carb overhaul, which can get into a lot of money and time next year.

its good to also get some winterizing oil. which usually comes in a spray can. when you disconnect the fuel line, spray that into the barrel of each carb until it chokes the engine and stalls. that will keep ya engine good and will fire up next year no worries. smoke a bit the first time but sae you a lot of headache.

it really depends on how cold it gets where you store it....if it gets close to or below freezing, then yes, unless you store it inside then don't worry.....i would also suggest that you add an oil stabilizer in addition to fuel stabilizer and running the motor w/ antifreeze.....but only if it gets down near 0 FSailing help needed, please answer if you can help?

But you can still take certain steps:
- Add Stabil (or some other product) to your gas tank
- Fog the engine
- Keep water out of the outdrive (you should change the oil everytwo seasons anyway).
how do i find water jet company xtreme?
it wouldn't hurt it,but not really,I have been running boats for 15 years and do alot of fishing. I never winterize my boat. I just make sure that all of the water is out of the motor when I am done fishing. If you do not get all the water out when it freezes ice expands and will crack your cast parts in your motor. You should also change out your impeller on your outboard every 2 years they are known to go bad. As far as not doing it because it is a four stroke this is not true. Four strokes will freez up on you to do not fall into that mess. Dan in Wisconsin
