Is it worth doing myself? Around how much would it cost to winterize and get it ready in the spring. And what is absolutely necessary to do and what things don't really need to be done? Like putting anti freeze in all the hoses for fresh and raw water. But are there things the dealer does that don't have to be done every year? Thanks

I buy the 50:1 non-ethanol fuel from lowes and run the motor on that with a portable tank as well. but i first drain the vst.
