Like scokill, I didn't fog before because of the fouling issues. But after reading a Tech bulletin on it, using a much less invasive fogging procedure, I have fogged now for several years...and never fouled a spark plug using those procedures. The 1.8L may pose a little different application, but it will still be the same in terms of not killing the engine while you fog, and you still need to rev up the engines to rid the water from them after running, so that burns off the fogging oil on the electrode and pretty much assures you won't have fouled plugs. I think it is a misconception, that you need oil to linger in the combustion chamber heavily to winterize or lubricate your components, and apparently Yamaha feels the same way, because they have never recommended fogging until you kill the engine, nor have they ever NOT recommended evacuating the water from the engine/exhaust after running on the hose or pulling from the water.

Unless it's crazy windy we'll be on the lake. We went yesterday for the first time. We put in at Harbor Bay just me, wife, my youngest daughter and her friend. Got in and out easy. Boat ran perfect, anchored at the now beach in party cove, girls tubed, and we came in. Water was 72 degrees.SO TRUE
I usually start in April but I haven't had my boat out yet this year. I hope to take the boat out this weekend for the first time this year. Will you be on Lake Ray Hubbard this weekend?
