I've been searching and havent had much success so I'm going ahead and posting this question. If I'm mistaken and there's a post somwhere else, please direct me to it.
Specifically, I live in San Antonio (so South Texas). I'm on a one year lease with my marina to have an open air slip and keep the boat in the water. It's a 21' Tracker with a 50hp outboard. My question to anyone who can answer is what is the proper/correct way to winterize a 'toon when leaving it *IN* the water? My thoughts are to fill the gas tank and add stabil, fog the motor after unhooking gas line, and put a moisture absorber under the cover. Is that correct or am I completely missing something and leaving some items out?
FWIW, I plan on taking it out in spring and having it serviced (lubed, plugs, etc/whatever) and a few things repaired.
TIA,

However, your plan is solid, although I'm not sure what disconnecting the fuel line will accomplish.
