If you have an I/O or inboard motor, the block should be drained after each use in the winter (or the boat should be stored in an area that wont freeze). Draining the block is an easy to learn process, but make sure you learn do it correctly. Most outboards and PWC's can be drained by simply positioning them correctly. The only winterization I do on my PWC's is add stabilizer, run it through, fog the engine (if I think it won't be used for over 6 weeks), and tilt it back (takes about 5 minutes). The Etec has it's own fogging process that takes 2 minutes; add stabilizer and position the motor full down and you're done. My old inboard usually stayed in the Garage until March because the storage prep process required 15-20 minutes after each winter use. If you leave batteries in your machines, remember to charge them every few weeks or get a trickle charger.
