I'll be staying on my slip until the last minute this year & it will likely be pretty cold by the time she's on stands in my yard. I had a process for my old boat but not for this one. Anyone have any tips or life hacks that can be applied to winterizing the pumps, and marine head?

There's nothing really different from one boat to another in terms of the pumps/head. It does depend on what type you have - but in the end, a pump is a pump is a pump/etc. If you've done it before, it's really all the same. Was there something specific that you were concerned/confused by?
I'm probably overthinking it. I guess I just need to spend some time locating everything. The fresh water system is still winterized, so it's really just the head and pumps.

Some people will use a plunger cup aattached to anti freeze jug and run the pump to suck anti freeze through it. Some say they just run the pump with the seacocks once the boat is out of the water. that clears water from the pump and anything before pump will drain out. The head I just add a anti freeze to the bowl and flush it through the system to clear the pipes to an empty holding tank.
