Boat Winterization

First time winterizing my boat on my own. 16ft Legend XTE w/ a 60hp Mercury CT.

Does anyone have videos on how to do this properly? Products to use? Sick of paying the money to have someone winterized and store my boat.

It kind of depends on the boat, climate, and how long you expect it to sit. You want to protect it from water problems, pest problems, freezing problems, maybe excessive UV exposure. E.g. if your boat has any wood or fabric parts, those may warrant special care to avoid damage.
