Asked my Yamaha dealer the same question last week and was told to lower the unit to drain it when you take it out. When you put it back in next time, let the lower unit sit in the water for a couple of minutes so that the water pump has a chance to flood before starting it up. The idea being that the water pump impellor could be frozen to the housing. Flooding it with water and letting it sit a few minutes would free it up and eliminate the possibilty of damaging the impellor.
