1. Removetheengineairfilter.
2. Startengineandallowidling.
3. Sprayfoggingoilintothrottlebodyuntilenginebeginstochokeandthenimmediately
shutengineoff.Donotallowenginetostallasthiswillleavethesparkplugsfouled
andmakeitdifficultforrestartingafterstorage.Iftheenginestalls,restartandre-do
theprocedure.Someenginethrottlemayberequiredtogetadequateenginefogging

4. Reinstallengineairfilter.
Disconnect the battery(ies) andfullycharge.Itisrecommendedtotake
thebatteryoutoftheboatandstoreitinside.Ifthebatteryloseschargeithastheriskof
beingdamagedduetofreezing.
 Checkthebatterymanufacturer’srequirements.Somemayindicatethat
thebatteryshouldnotbestoredonaconcretesurface.Checktomakesure
batteryischargedevery30-45days.Slowchargeusingatricklechargerif
