More antifreeze talk

Is putting the bulb under the engine cover the only you do to winterize your boat? I'm in TX and it really doesn't get and stay too cold.

A light bulb does well and that is really the only thing I do other than drain the engine block of water.

A bulb in the engine bay is only a method of preventing the block from freezing, there is a lot more to winterizing: Fuel stabilizer, oil change, transmission fluid change, V-drive oil change (if you have one), lube steering cable in grease rudder box, charge battery(s), clean and dry boat, including bilge and storage, drain or add Marine/RV antifreeze to ballast system, if equipped, service trailer bearings and seals, lube coupler, top off brake fluid..........Did I miss anything?

Purchase impeller so it's ready to install before the season starts
