Location: 31 | It's interesting that Honda does not recommend the crankcase oil be changed for storage like Yamaha, kind of reaffirms the thinking on the top end of a four stroke for me.
I agree with your recommendation on the lower unit change before winter as a general guideline, but then again everyone's situation and risk tolerance is a little different. Take for instance esoxaddict storing his boat in a heated garage, obviously that solves the potential freezing problem.
IMHO, motors are built with much tighter tolerances these days, as well as my thinking that I would have probably noticed something while doing visual inspections, or something during the last service. I only have about 30 hours on my motors since the last oil change, and although there is a slight risk something weird could have happened, this also hold true for the middle of the summer. Anyway, I'm willing to take that chance because I feel the risk water infiltrated is so slight.
