    Forgot to fog

    I have a 2022 Mercury 200hp four stroke. I wasn’t able to get in for the 20 hour service for awhile this winter. While waiting it totally slipped my mind to do the fogging since the dealer was doing everything else. It sat for about 90 days here is southwest Ohio. It is garage kept. Should I be worried about rust build up in that amount of time? I know there is nothing I can do now, just wondering if I be worried or not. Thanks for any help.

    You're probably fine as long as it was at a relatively stable temperature in a dry environment.
