winter storage tips needed

Hi,

I plan to do the following with my 15hp 2 stroke engine to prepare it for 9
months of storage:
- flush out sea water
- fog engine and cylinders
- lubricate points

Is this sufficient?

Do I need to use fuel conditioner? Should I use it all the time or just
before I store it?

Thanks

Personally I would run it dry & get fresh fuel next year (The old will do
fine in the car as long as its well diluted).

It would probably be OK, but I would not risk the more volatile factions of
teh fuel evaporation off during storage, leaving slime in the fuel system.
