Fog the engine.
Add enough fuel to fill the tank and add Stabil (or any other fuel
preservative) to the gas tanks

In the days of my 150hp Johnson... I agree with this 100%. As Steve, I never
did the "gasoline" thing during the boats down time. I paid the price each
spring with needing to have all 3 carbs rebuilt. The jets and the like
always clogged up.

I corrected this problem by fishing all "winter" here in Florida and getting
a smaller boat with an 8hp engine

To add an item, you may want to consider giving some of the metal items a
light shot of an marine oil based protectant.
