Forgot to ask, do you Fog the engine before you put it up for the winter?
Yep, I have it professionally winterized. Fuel stabilizer, Fog the engine, fill with anti-freeze, change oil, change lower unit lube, pull lower unit and grease/inspect everything. The works!
you pay for all that 
I gotta winterize the boat and camper yet this year we are hopin 1 more trip, just got back from campin this weekend.
i winterize the boat in the drive way, its loud with just the garden hose on it
