I use a mobile marine mechanic for our 1985 SeaRay Monaco which sits on our dock (out of the water) in Canada all year round. The mechanic showed up to winterize the engine unexpectedly and did not have the keys to the boat. He texted me after he left and said he winterized the engine, but i asked him how he was able to run fuel stabilizer and fog the engine without the keys...
He said this: "I put some stabilizer down the carb vent and stabilized the fuel. It got little oil down the intake. Should be good."
Should i be concerned with this or is his method ok? Also, what does it mean that there is little oil down the intake?
In past years I've seen him add the fuel stabilizer, start the engine and bring it up to temp then choke out the carb with fogging oil.
