Winterising my Rib
Just wintersed my Rib, cleaned it , flushed and drained the engine, disconnected and removed the battery, greased joints.

Is your Evinrude an Etec? If so, the fogging routine is apparently quite simple.

Mollers can advise better, as he has read the manual...

RIBase
Rinse the powerhead off in fresh water, let it dry & spray with corrosion guard or silicone spray, not WD40 or similar.
