How do you winterize a outboard motor and what position of rest is best for the transom for storage?
I'd look in a maintaince manual ,but If you don't have one this is what I got when looking it up this year.TO winterize a boat motor put the motor in a larger container of water (big enough to fully cover the inlet ports) or use muffs to be sure of a clean water supply. start the engine and diconnect the fuel line.When the engine has run out of fuel.remove it from the water or disconnect the muffs. spray some engine fogging oil into the engine to protect the cylinders from rust. This can be done with the plugs out or through the intake (if it is done through the intake the engine must be turned over while spraying.). As for position I've heard it said that storing an engine on it's side is good for an outboard,but I think the best way is upright because not only are they shipped that way,but they are designed to run that way.So, Upright would probably be best.

What is the difference between a long shaft and a short shaft outboard engine?
Boat builders manfacture their crafts' in three basic transom heights. The transom height is measured from the top of the transom, (where the engine bolts on), straight down to the keel, (bottom middle), of the boat. A 15'' transom would require a shortshaft engine. A 20" transom would need a longshaft outboard, and a boat with a 25" transom, would require a extra longshaft engine.
