Filling the tank with gas as suggested would be good idea if the tank does not have a vent, and is made of steel.. Back when tanks such as that were used, keeping them full kept water out, which prevented rust from forming. With the poly tanks and adequate venting, there will be very little condensation, unless you continually bring your boat in to warm temps (like a heated garage) after fishing for many hours in very cold conditions.

I say you should be fine with the way things sit. If anything, I would maybe pump the bulb tight again just to keep the float bowls full in the carbs (if it is a carbed engine)

It should be good to go. Fresh gas when you start it finally will be all you need, and maybe a touch of starting fluid too...
