Hello, First year with the boat and need some help on how to winterize the boat, do you have a step by step on what is needed to winterize the jet boat?

What is the fogger stuff called? Also am I needing to put antifreeze anywhere if so how so with the little garden hose connectors?

1) Fuel stabilizer in the fuel tank and im assuming run it through the engine etc,
2) Fog the carburetors
3) pull the plugs and put the fogger stuff into the cylinders

I appreciate all of your help.
 
1) I use stabil "storage" on my last run of the season. You can put it in and run on the hose as well but I like to limit time on the hose
2) fog the cylinders, not the carbs. carbs get the stabil fuel stabilizer. For fogging, remember to remove the safety lanyard and then spray fogger into each cylinder while someone turns turns the ignition on the key. Put anti seize on spark plugs and reinstall.
