I plan on wintering my 47' boat in the water next year in Ohio (sub freezing
temperatures many days) . . . and will be on board most weekdays.

I am curious about what winterizing I might neet to do compared to when it
is put into storage. I would expect to be able to use the freshwater
system, etc.

It might be a good idea to have either a generator which can power your
electric heaters, or a diesel heater. If you depend on shore power, you
might find that an ice storm leaves your boat vulnerable to freezing and
no heat source on board... that would get kind of chilly for you, too!

If you are using the water systems every day, and keeping the inside of
the boat warm, you should not have to do any winterizing. However you
might make sure to fill up the water tanks any time you get the chance,
even down here in NC the water at the dock is off for much of the winter.
