Winterizing Cuddy

[HighTrim]

It is that time of year for us Northern Hemisphere boaters, p to you southerners that do not need to worry about this, lol), and I thought I would start a thread about winterizing the cuddy. Short of the normal mechanical winterization, and winterizing the head, water tank etc..., how do you guys winterize your cuddy? I personally have an anti mould spray that I mist on my fabrics, and the I spread dryer sheets liberally about. I also leave an open bag of mothballs out to keep the rodents out. Taking any cushions/linen indoors for the winter also helps keep it fresh. Any other ideas? Tks each and all for your input.

chris; sorry we take our boat south and dry store
mice and pack rats are a problem and i'm going to try your mothball idea though.
do the dryer sheets do any thing other than work like a air freshener?
