search the forum. There are lots of topics on it. It is not that hard.

If you want, you can bring your boat over my house sometime and I can walk you through it (live in SE Mass)...as I still have to do our boat.

Tilt the hond 50 down, (Water needs to run out of lower unit) remove gas line, Add stable to fuel tank,
I check and change my lower unit gear oil just in case water seeped in.

It is already -25 here, Boat has been out side for the last 6 years in the winter,
many times in the winter we have -50 below.

Motor fires every spring,

Mobil1 5w 30w since the day it was first started, cannot beat synthic oil for cold climates
