Topic: Marine Engine Fogging

Question: How do I fog my engine?

Response: Unfortunately engine fogging is currently not an easy procedure. We are in the process of developing a patented product that will make this a much more user friendly process. This product should be available by next Spring. For now you will have to go the long route;

1.    Utilize any suitable outboard engine oil in a suitable spray can, approximately 12 oz.

2.    Remove flame arrestor and run engine at a fast idle.

3.    Depending upon how long you intend to leave the boat un-used, spray the oil into the throat of the carburetor. If your putting the boat up for the winter, 1st put fuel stabilizer in the fuel system for winter storage. Run the engine while spraying about 2/3 of the oil into the carburetor. At this point let the engine come down to idle, then allow the engine to go ahead and die while you continue to spray the oil until this happens.

4.    Replace flame arrestor.

5.    If you are interested in fogging the engine prior to putting the boat up for the weekend, or some relatively short period of time and on a regular basis, I would suggest utilizing Platinum Tip spark plugs 1st, and using approximately 2 oz. of oil per fogging.
