If I don't count putting on the cover (the hardest part) I probably spent about 
3 hrs. I'm not sure which supply lines you pulled, but if you are talking about 
the engine raw water intake and AC intake those are a real PITA. After last 
year, I spliced a "T" fitting into each of them so I don't need to pull those 
off. That may be why I spent an hour less than you did.

It took me longer this year, since I also installed a water heater 
bypass.  Other than the bypass surgery, I probably spent four hours just 
doing the water system, head, air conditioner, and engine.  The hardest 
part is pulling supply lines off of their fittings to drain or fill.  My 
four hours did not include changing the oil or impeller, taking off the 
bimini or dodger, taking off the sails, or putting on the winter cover.  
All told, I probably put the better part of three days in at the end of 
each season.

How long does it take you to winterize?

Just curious.
