Sorry i cant link good on iPhone.
If you have a cockpit shore water fitting, get from amazon a Camco brass blowout fitting ($7 amazon). Install in shore water outlet. First drain hot water tank, then hook up a 12v tire inflator ($30 amazon), open each faucet one at a time, turn on pump. Winterize freshwater system in 15 mins. Done.

Yep, or just get a small air compressor, disconnect the fresh water system at the pump, open everything up, blow through, done.

Answers are going to vary quite a bit since there are so many variables. Not even taking into account labor differences, but... what does "winterizing" mean to you?

-- Simply protecting the engines for the winter?
-- Changing engine oil?
-- Changing drive oil?
-- Changing F/W sep's and filters?
-- Winterizing other systems?
-- Bottom cleaning?
-- Touching up anti-foul?
-- Shrink wrapping?
-- Storage?
-- etc

You probably see where I'm going with this. "Winterizing" can mean different things to different people and can also mean different things depending on the boat and the systems.

Without the anti foul but everything else I pay about 3K for storage....no shrink wrap as it is inside...for my 320. V drives
 
320 v drives southern lake MI about 2k maybe a bit more. Includes: come to slip pick up boat, haul out, winterize all systems, oil change (not part of package but in the price I listed), block and stands, shrink wrap, reconnect batteries and keep charged in spring, restart engines and relaunch spring with slip delivery if I'm not free. Gated access anytime outside storage.
 
I just had the marina winterize my twin 430 EFIs on my new-to-me 270. They charged for 45 litres of AF. Seems high to me. Or is it?

Now, see, I took that as that the marina charged him for 45 litres/11 gallons of AF, and was wondering if that seemed like an unusual amount of fluid for his twins.

Exactly…charge is irrelevant.
