I msy even put a heater in the boat to keep it warm in it when the cover is on.

On my boat winterizing is super easy, it's just taking everything apart to get to the plugs that's a PITA.

I think next year I'll do things different so I can get on the water a few times. Or buy a boat that's easier to access the plugs.
