Spray down the engine's metal surfaces with silicone lubricant?

Another vote for WD-40... remember it is called water displacement for a reason...

I've used both WD-40, Boeshield T-9, and Corrosion-X depending upon how much residual film I felt was needed.

Ballistol is a product I've been reading about from a website that I purchase off-road gear from sometimes - read down to the steel wool-in-water test - it's pretty interesting stuff, but I've not ordered...yet.

I've also started using Motorex Joker440 in cases where I'd used WD-40, it's a synthetic based spray lube. This youtube video isn't something I'd condone but is pretty convincing that it does not conduct electricity and is pretty waterproof

Do you guys that are spraying WD40 etc store your boats inside? I keep mine in the garage and never spray the engine etc and do not have any rust or problems. Just Curious.

Never sprayed a boat engine down in 30 yrs, but boats are always in a heated garage. I do wipe the dust off from time to time though. Engine looks like new. I also wash my car engines a couple times a year....

I have used SeaDoo Lube, Yamalube, and seafoam. All my motors are spotless and pushing 15 years old. Just dont do it before you work on them. Make it the last thing you do for the year. I try to avoid heavy coating on the wires and eletrical stuff, just in case.

Any reason not to use StarBrite fogging oil, same stuff I sprayed into the cylinders for the winter? That's what I did this past Fall, mostly on some rusty areas on the bottom of the exhaust manifolds. But I'm new at this.

Any pictures for these clean engine bays? So I know what I'm aiming for when I clean mine on weekend

Agree, the Seadoo Lube is thicker than WD40 (which tends to evaporate over time).
