My first time that I've had a boat out of a marina and on my own.

What are the necessary steps for getting the boat ready for the winter and safely done for the season?


- exterior cleaning (It's been sitting in water all summer, not very clean water at that)
    can I use a pressure washer on it without damaging it?
- winterizing
    whats involved?  Should I just drop it back at my old marina and let them do it?
- interior cleaning
- shrink wrap?
    keep critters out?  Hate spiders in the springtime that have taken residence on board
- trailer boots/locks?
    best way to protect the boat without spending a fortune

The boat will sit on the trailer for the winter.  Are engine heaters necessary/good idea/waste?  It will have electric power nearby so I could have continuous power if needed.
