I am storing my boat outside this winter for the first time. I'll be winterizing it around Thanksgiving (or whenever the lakes freeze) and then taking it to a buddy for shrink wrapping. Once shrink wrapped I will need to tow it across town (5 miles or so) to where it is being stored. Since I will have disconnected my batteries after charging during the winterization process how will I get my motor down for storage over the winter?

My thought was to to make sure I winterize it a couple of days prior to shrink wrapping to ensure all the water is out of the motor before I put it up on the transom saver for towing and then leave it there for the winter.

Anyone see anything wrong with that or have a better idea?
