Winterization - which rust inhibitor

[John U]

Just about ready to winterize my outboards and wondered what you guys consider is the best product for external corrosion prevention under the covers. I like to do this in addition to internal fogging (I always use 2 stroke oil for this).

My first engine was a Suzuki 28Hp bought in 82 and sold fully working in 04, 22 years later. I coated that liberally in Waxoyl from new and never had any corrosion or electrical problems, but what a mess!

Replaced the Suzuki with a Tohatsu 30 which seemed to have a nice waxy coating under the hood from new that was not tacky. However, as I couldn't identify it, I have liberally doused the engine with WD40 for the last 5 years with no problems.

I recently sourced a cheap supply of non-aerosol Duck Oil, which I haven't seen for a few years and will probably use that this year.

Any problems with these products, or is there anything better on the market?

Quicksilver corrosion guard, and proper fogging oil.

Excellent products, although I wouldn't be suprised if the welsh fool knew of something better, and lots cheaper!

Gonna have to give you [10] [10] for that one garFie

I use Boeshield T-9 on the external parts of the motor. It sprays on like most aerosols, has a light amber color where it pools, and seems to somewhat harden a bit, so it doesn't drip all over or end up sticky (at leaast, not as much as the wax-based products.)

I doubt there's better, only cheaper that does the same job. However, at about 15 quid for the 2 cans it's hardly a major outlay.
