Newb question for y'all. Over the course of the season, I've been lucky enough to take my boat out 3 or 4 times this past month. Even with this, I know I won't be able to take my boat out again for another 2 weeks. I'm just wondering if its good practice to pull the blue drain plugs to let the engine drain out- or is it okay to just let it sit? Is it good practice to drain in out after every run? I haven't drained it since my last outing 5 days ago. I only go to freshwater lakes. Thanks in advance for any input.
