Fogging does not clean the engine, what it does is coats the surface of the cyl bore and piston rings to help prevent rust from forming during long period of it not being used. Personally, I don't worry about it but I have done it in the past and it sure will not hunt anything. More important is to store your foot in the down position and like was mentioned, check the foot to see if water got into it during the year. I don't usually worry about it, if it was good the year before but it will not hurt to drain it and refill it, just to be on the safe side. My main concern is to store my battery with the wires disconnected, so there is less chance of the battery being drained during the winter. I also put a battery charger on my batteries at least once or twice during the winter.
Hope that helps. I have been using Sea foam for a lot of years but this coming year, I'm going to change over to Stabile(?) because of the cost of SeaFoam. At $9 a bottle, when it's not on sale, that is just too much to use on a regular basis, I will continue to use it at the end of the year when I take the boat out for the last couple of times. It will be interesting
to see what the long term effects will be if any[:/].
