I have a brand new 25hp 4-stroke Yamaha bolted onto the back of my lil ol' Lifetimer. I was thinking of getting it properly winterized, but we may want to use it over the winter -- winter springs, etc. -- so I'm not sure. But as it's bolted onto the boat, I can't take it off and store it inside like I used to do with my other outboard. So: what is the best way to keep it safe over the winter if I can't bring it inside and might not want to fog it, etc. for a full winterize? I've already put stabilizer in the gas tank, but how do I make sure, for example, that any water in the cooling system won't freeze and crack something? (Sorry for the question -- not very knowledgable about motors.)
