    FIsherman6 has a great write up on what to do, especially those of us up north. Please, do not take the advice of those trying to tell you that fogging is not necessary. I get a little upset over that. Geesh, we are trying to preserve these things right, sort of the motto of the club and all.

    Something I may add to that, is I mist my motors in WD40 to prevent corrosion. You ever find a motor that has been sitting a long time and the powerhead and etc… is all corroded? We want to avoid that.

    Second, ensure that your gearcase drains are Working. You should see that ooze running out of the holes, if not, they are clogged and need to be cleared out.
