Thanks for everyone's advice- I've lowered my engine a couple of times each time I load to drain water- I'll look into the other suggestions- appreciate it.

The general public just pulls the spark plugs and gives it a good 3 second spray with WD-40 or some special fogging oil, turning the straw all around to make sure you hit as much as you can. That's probably sufficient. I have a torque wrench so I just pull the head, spray the pistons and walls so I can visually see them getting a spritz, then button it all back up, torqued to spec.
Takes about 20 seconds per cylinder.
So you can pull the heads on a 200 HPDI or on a SHO and put them back on in 2-0 minutes with no problems? Dang you must be the quickest mechanic in the world. Heck, even on the 90 HP this isn't a quick job or inexpensive.

Crud. I forgot to fog my cylinder heads before I put the O/B into a storage unit. I usually fish until the end of December. But this year I pulled the motor to replace my transom.
Waiting on Bob Davis' next selfie
