Location: Lake Elmo, MN | Although I don't believe it's as critical as say winterizing a stern drive, regular winterization can indeed prolong your motor's life.......just like regular mainteance can help your car's engine.
The winterization is also a great time to do misc things like proactively change your impeller (every second or third year). That way, you never get an "oooops" while 30 miles out on Lake of the Woods or Rainy. Spending the money to watch out for a big investment like an outboard is money well spent.
There are guys out there that will winterize your outboard for cheap. My guy charges $90 to winterize (fluids, fog, lube etc) my Merc ProXS.
