sometimes i cant go for awhile so i run mine every 4 wks for about 20 mins on the muffs. keeps things moving. nothing worse than a motor sitting around and not running. chris would know more about this by a long shot.

Hooked up to the hose is better than not. Get it up to temperature and leave her there for 15 minutes or so every few weeks.
Better to put a load on the motor. Unfortunately, this means getting it in the water or in a tank. There is no way to really push realistic fuel flows through the system with out a load.

Don’t forget to turn your steering wheel back and forth several times as well to help keep steering from freezing up. As said, running it with the muffs is better then not running it at all.
Definitly one of the worst things for a boat and motor IMO, is not running or using it frequently.
