Winterize required in a heated garage for a closed cooled??

[J]

Got a closed cooled ZR6 that will be stored in my heated garage.
Do I need to winterize?
I was thinking of just draining the exhaust and ballast tanks, throw some fuel stabilizer in....and then do some oil / impeller changes in the spring.

I've kept my boat in a regular garage and have never winterized it............but I live in CA.

Since your garage is heated it will never freeze in there...........

Probably do not need to, but for sure drain it. Just in case.......... Furnaces fail, propane runs out., etc

You want fresh oil in it for it's long winters nap. Used oil might be contaminated. That way it will also be ready to go in the spring.
I would recommend fogging the engine if it is goiung to sit for a long time. At least half of the cylinders have one or both valves open when the engine sits. Changes in temperature will draw air in and out of the cylinders, and if conditions are wrong, condensation is possible on the cylinder walls, open to the air.
Can you guarentee that the power will always be on to run the heater? Absolutely? If you have a sudden cold spell, and lose power, and you are dealing with other issues, will you remember to drain the water then?
You do not want to be suprised in the spring with cracked exhaust manifolds, or other parts that have raw water in them.
