I would say it depends where you live. I am in Vermont and we obviously have cold winters, definitely fog the motors up here! It's not hard to do and don't see the big deal in doing it!

I have always fogged my outboards [ 2 stroke engines ] its cheap insurance. However I dont know about the new four strokes. I would do what ever the manual says to do. When it comes to warranties a manufacturer will use any excuse to get out of fixing a problem if they think you didnt follow the proper procedure.

Special K,
Fogging is what you do to protect your engine when it sits under the snow and ice for several months without starting and running to lubricate the cylinders,etc. Since you live in the "SUNSHINE" State you shouldn't have to do that if you run your boat all year. There is usually a section in your outboard motor owners manual pertaining to "fogging". I live on the southeast coast of NC. There's usually enough warm days in the winter to hook a hose to the outboard and run it for awhile every couple of weeks. John D.

I take it a dealer and have the boat winterized. I am pretty sure they fog the motors. I wish I lived where we could just forget about winterizing and go fishing.

Fogging motors
I own an 05' Evirude Etec 40hp. Fogging it is almost idiot proof. I am a new boat owner so I just followed the manual and it took all of 10 minutes. This motor is awesome!!!...highly recommended.

Just as a followup: I normally don't fog my motor even though I don't operate it during the winter months. My motor sat from October last year until this past Saturday. I charged the batteries and when I went to the ramp, it started on the first crank and purred like a kitten. We fished for about three hours and had a great day.
