    I would suggest you have it prepared for that kind of storage by a dealer.

    Fog engine heavy, drain all fuel from boat and engine, fill engine fuel system with XD 100, change gear lube, cover all exhaust openings.

    Thats a long time to store an outboard.

    Also grease all the fittings, wipe down the outside and wax the motor
