I usually do the most involved process which includes the following...
-Drain all the gas from the tank & carbs, or you can put in "Stable" & run it for a minute or two until the carbs have filled w/ that mix.
-Fog the cylinders w/ a good oil & turn the engine over a couple of times.
-Lube all the cables & springs
-Remove & store the battery inside, keeping it on a battery tender.
-Pump marine anti-freeze into the motor until it comes out the external lines.. Removing all water from the system.
We have the Yamaha 4 & 2 stokes & the process is pretty similar for both..
Never had even 1 issue in the spring w/ any of our craft when it came time for start up again... Hope this helped a little..

Thanks Orlo, Just worried about getting all the water out....I did one so far, still have 1 more to do.

Sounds good DV8... One last thing to make sure of , is the intake water line from the pump to the engine. Make sure it's empty or you might end up with some water seeping back into the block.. Good luck.
