I have a little different way of winterizing my one arm bandits. First all my motors have a tag on them. With info about the last time they were run and work they might need. Motors not run in the season get the roll over on Friday method. The runners get the prop pulled to check for fishing line, plugs pulled, pistons put at bottom dead center, and I shoot the fogging oil into the transfer ports while the motor is tilted up. Trying to get the oil into the crankshaft area. I also found out you can send some fogging juice up the gas line connector. Put the plugs back in and roll the engine over with compression to move the oil around some. Check lower unit for water, either change oil or leave it empty if it is milky color. I have home made covers for all my motors. Old sweat shirts that I have cut the sleeves off and sowed the neck and the arm holes together. The covers help stop the nicks and dings that happen when the baby’s are moved around in the off season.
