Oil spray from where? Oil spraying out of an engine is not normal. Maybe there is a seal that is failing somewhere.

If you are thinking about connecting the water hose directly to the engine\water pump don't do it. The pressure will force the water past seals and you will have a well watered engine. Run the hose into a 5 gallon bucket and lead a hose to the water pump from the bucket.

The cutless bearing is water lubed. Do not put the engine in gear when the boat is not in the water or it will burn up in short order.

Others members will have more hints. Many folks in the forum winterize and will be happy to let you know how they go about it.
