Has anyone got a step-by-step YouTube video for beginners on how to winterize and/or dewinterize your boat?

wow. I did not realize "winterization" was that labor intensive. Probably gets quicker with time/repetition, i'm hoping

Depends on where you are.

I basically just rev mine a few times and toss it in the garage after a good cleaning and running the final two tanks of fuel through with Stabil in it. I don't fog the cylinders, I don't lube the snot out of the trailer, don't mess with the bilge pump at all. Don't run anti-freeze through the cooling system, change the plugs or the oil.......BUT my boat is in a partially insulated attached garage, and I'm in the southeast.
