winter startup

Do you start your motor when not using your boat? If so how often and how long do you let it run? thank you for your time. I'm worried about the ethanol clogging up the motor.

I winterize mine in August/September and fire it up May/June. I don’t burn Ethanol fuel.

As long as you put water to it you can run it as long as you want. At my house it has been below freezing for the last 5 months, that's a lot of work to thaw a hose, hook up the muffs, run for a while? put Stabil in your fuel as per the directions & worry about something else
