Winterizing thread - the first of many!

I hate to bring this up now as we approach some of the best fishing but I am trying to plan ahead. I just got the rate sheet for winter storage from my marina and I'd rather not pay them another dime. Boat is a 20" center console
Here is my first round of questions.....some may be stupid but...

1. If I shrink wrap the boat, is it ok to leave the motor and all controls on it? This assumes I winterize the motor.
2. Do I remove the batteries and keep them charged over the winter on a remote charger?
3. If I store the boat on a trailer over the winter, do I just leave it as is or do I put the trailer on blocks, lifting the tires off the ground?
4. Do you fill any of the hoses or drains with anti-freeze?

Thats it for now, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
