I like to change it every year anyway .
Most guys don't drain the carb bowls and I see those guys every year because the settled fuel in the bowl is the first thing in the carb when fresh gas is added. Too late then!!! Great advise!!! For the guys using ethanol in their EFI 4strokes, you should drain the vapor separator also. It's the bowl in an EFI system.
The lower unit should have oil in it always. The reasons have already been said.
