Default Winterizing a STX-12F

Besides stabilizing the fuel, changing oil & filter, fogging the engine & running Non-Toxic antifreeze thru the flushing port, what else should I be doing for winterizing?

I'm going to pull the battery & the ski will be stored in temps. down to zero F.

> Get water out of the exhaust 4-1 collector pipe as much as possible to avoid cracking it when the staganant water freezes and expands. Run the engine and give a short quick high rpm blip.

> Remove spark plugs and spray some anti-rust spray (fogging oil, WD-40, etc.) into the holes to prevent rusting inside the cobustion chamber.

> Run fan inside the engine compartment to get rid of any kind of moisture currently there now. Then, place a 4x2 under the seat so that it can ventilate and evaporate any kind of moisture build up in the future.

> Hook up your battery to a automatic trickle charger. I'd rather place the battery in the boat and just run the engine once or every other week for a minute or so.
