That Time Again

Wanted to get opinions on a winterizing checklist. For those of you who don't know, I have a 22 ft Hydra-Sports WA with a 2 stroke 175 HP Johnson Outboard.

Here is my current list:

Winterize Checklist

Stabilize fuel
Run engine to circulate stabilized fuel
Fog engine
Change engine lower unit oil
Remove drain plug
Add antifreeze to bilge
Remove boat batteries
Set batteries on trickle charge
Shrink Wrap Boat

What have I missed? Any other suggestions? Comments appreciated!

I thought I'd share my Spring Maintenance Checklist as well for those that might be interested.

Annual Spring Maintenance

change fuel filter
install boat batteries
Change Spark Plugs
Spray shot of OMC engine tuner in each cylinder
put drain plug back in
change engine fuel filter element
wax boat
test electrical systems
inspect/replace zincs
Grease trailer bearings
