Water is a BIG concern do to possible rusting of gears and bearings. There is also the possibility of cracks in the geargase do to freezing in cold weather. It is always a good idea to squint fogging oil in the powerhead and replacing the rubber water pump impeler while you check out the lower unite. Clean and adjust the breaker points and check the fuel system for bad rubber components and clogging stale gas & oil residue. Bob McMulloch had some great ideas. I have always thought that was the 75 that Evinrude should have built. They did it, but a decade later. . . 😉
