Personally, when I know I am going to be driving the sled for the last time in the winter, I will dump in some seafoam while filling up. This way it gets run through the whole fuel system throughly. Besides that, I would grease it right away to get all the water out to prevent rust. Then as summer goes on and I find more time I will clean the clutches, wax the sled, spray down bolts and such with WD40 and just look at everything closely to make sure all is well. As far as fogging goes, there is always a big debate on whether to do it or not. I do not know that much about engines and how they work, so dont take my opinions to seriously. But this year I was debating on whether I should fog or not and I decided not to. Personally I do not believe fogging or not fogging the engine is going to matter a whole lot. After all if you do searches there is people who fog and do not fog, and they both seem to have no problems come winter. I see why people would fog there engines, just for the idea of spraying oil everywhere will prevent rusting in the engine. But I did not fog my sled this year because I have a hard time believing that the inside of my engine, which is made from very high performance durable metal, will start to rust. I believe that starting your engine up and warming it up fully every once is a while in the summer is the better way to go. Doing this your engine, clutches, track and things like that will not sit as long therefore I believe when I get my sled out next winter, all the parts will fresh and not stuck in place. Also I just like to hear my sled go in the summer. I have also heard that when you fog the engine you should probably replace the plugs at the beginning of the year. And for me to do this on my Apex would give me nightmares since I am not much of a person who likes working on stuff, instead I would rather be riding the stuff. Also all the cars that sit out in car lots for months or years at a time are not fogged. And at least the snowmobile dealers around by me do not fog all there used sleds that sit for a very long time Like I said before, this is my opinion and I am not very engine savy so what I just said may be not true at all. And if anybody has different opinions or information I would love to hear them because it could very well change my mind on how I think things. Also if you do want to fog your engine on the phazer, I believe you just take the front little blue(or whatever color sled you have) hatch off, and spray some fogging oil in the two intake cylinders.
