Not wanting to start a big debate, but I was reading my new Clymer manual for Indmar engines and was surprised by something I read in the winter layup section. It discusses different engine fogging approaches based on the type of fuel system you have. Carb / TBI / MPI w/center mounted throttle body and MPI with front mounted throttle body and fuel pump in the tank versus on the engine.
Cutting to the chase, the recommendation for a MPI motor with the fuel pump mounted to the engine and the throttle body in the front (or I assume the back in our case with the ’04 Monsoon 340 hp) was to disconnect the inlet to the fuel pump and connect an outboard fuel tank with stabilizer & fogging oil mixed into the tank and fog the engine THROUGH the injectors, no spraying. Anyone heard of this? I read through all the related threads I could find and didn’t see this elaborate procedure discussed. Needless to say, I have no intention of doing that but if I read into this, seems like due to the long intake run & otherwise dry intake manifold, they don’t want you spraying the fog oil through the throttle plate?

Never heard of that before. Does the Service Manual happen to give info on the torque settings for the oil pan bolts?
