I crammed my 19' boat (3.0L alpha) into my enclosed, insulated garage.

Do I need to fully winterize it? The garage stays in the mid-50's
during the winter months. I have a trickle charger to maintain the
battery. I can also pull it out monthly and run it in the driveway at
idle temp.

What do you think?

I think that if the temp in the garage should for some completely
unpredictable reason reason go to 0, you'll lose your motor. If not,
then no different than summer storage ... my opinion.

I think if you loose power during a ice storm or just forget to close the
door after a
night out is not worth the chance of freezing you motor
