In the thread "Maintenance Matters - How To Winterize Your Honda Outboard" it says "The most familiar cause of storage-related breakdown is water that is left in the engine block which in turn freezes. Ice will form, expand and then crack the cylinder block. This can lead to very costly repairs." It goes on to tell you about the fuel system, fogging and putting oil in each cylinder, but it doesn't really tell you how to get the water out of the engine block. Am I missing something here?

you keep the motor down

they are self draining
