Re: Proper winter storage

In my experience, cracked lower units are caused by water in the lower unit where gear oil is supposed to be. Keeping it in a warm environment is preferable but not always practical. Best way if kept in a frozen area I’d to either drain some gear oil out or drain it totally and then put in fresh oil. Either case, put a note on the motor so that you remember what you did. Memories sometimes fail!
