I don't fog or seal anything. Waste of time and money. My opinion, another scare tactic to get people to spend more money on their special "marine" engine. I drain the block and pull all the plugs, replace them, then pour antifreeze in till it comes out the bottom. Even doing that is more than we ever did to our race engines and they never froze or rusted.

    Humidity in your area plays a big part in the fogging process.
    High humidity , combined with fluctuating temps , owners usually fog the engine.
    Low humidity , dry conditions , owners usually don't fog in my experiences.

    I personally fog. I'll spend the extra 5 bucks and time for the piece of mind. Course , I'm really anal with my toys too.

    I fog everything including my mower , generator , ATV , etc all the way up to the boat.
