Fogging
I have had a Honda 50Hp, Yamaha 15Hp and my 350ci chev/volvo and fogged them all before the long cold winter...With my 115 Merc Opti SW, the manual suggests to drop an ounce of 2 stroke oil in each cylinder and turn the engine over to distribute it...Not sure why they don't suggest fogging, but the manufacturer usually knows best...

Fogging oil for Mercury fuel injected
This is from the Mercury site for winter storage...
Why is Storage Seal Rust Inhibitor not recommended in the newer EFI and OptiMax engines? Storage Seal Rust Inhibitor uses a thick base designed to protect the internal engine surfaces. In some applications we have seen a build up of the thick base inside the injectors, causing the injectors to stick or operate incorrectly. On these models we recommend Quickleen and 2-cycle engine oil as a replacement for Storage Seal Rust Inhibitor. Quickleen is used to clean the injectors. The engine oil lubricates, as well as prevents rust from forming. We continue to recommend Fuel System Treatment and Stabilizer to help prevent the formation of varnish and/or gum in the gasoline. Always follow the storage procedures outlined in your Operation, Maintenance & Warranty Manual or Service Manual.

I cannot 'fog' my Honda 4S like a traditional 2S while running, however, I do spray fogging oil into each spark plug hole and crank her over to work the oil around. This is what the manual instructs. Keeps moisture from corroding engine parts. I also spray a light coat of corrosion inhibitor on the exterior of the engine (not fogging oil), then wipe down the whole lower unit and cover with a light film of gear oil.

Fogging
I have always foged my outboards and my merc io. My new outboard is fuel injected, and I have been told to spray #1 cylinder very lightley in order not to foul the o2 sensor. This year I am also decarbonizing the outboard, changing the thermostates and water pump. My last step is to clean the O2 sensor and test it.

No fogging in California. We just put on a jacket, then go fishing.

The weather down here in SoCal is awesome. Hardly ever freezing where I am (thats overnight), the ocean permits you to go out nearly every week if you would like.
