The reason for fogging is to coat the internal engine parts with oil. Engine cases are porous and moisture can build up inside in humid weather.........I've seen neglected snowmobile engine with enough moisture inside to freeze in the winter and prevent the engine from turning over. W/O fogging or proper attention, rust can pit the bearings and lead to total engine failure.
My preference is to once a month in the off seasaon: (1) Start the engine and run it for 5 minutes to get everything lubed., and (2) Put a battery charger on overnight.
Never a problem in doing this to snowmobiles and motorcycles for 40 years........
