As far as fuel goes, it won't go bad in 6 months but I've seen situations where something happens and the boat misses a season in the water. In that instance you would want Stabilizer in the fuel if it sat for a year and a half.
I have a push mower and I thought it odd that it didn’t have a drain plug on the side of the engine like every other small engine I’ve had. Then I found the plug under the deck hidden by some caked on grass.
