Inside heated storage

It's that time again for us Midwesterners. I am storing indoors so less to do than storing outside in the cold & snow. This is my first year doing so with this boat (previous sailboats stored outside) so I do have a few questions.

Main concern is water tanks & lines - no need to pump the pink stuff through but probably best to get out as much water as possible? The water can get pretty stale just sitting. And what about the metal water tanks? Maybe some type of preservative is needed in there?

Probably a good idea to drain the aqua lift muffler? I think all I need to do is to open the drain and let water drain into bilge and pump it out.

Oh, yes and the bilge - clean out best you can. I will be working down there over the winter.

Pull the impellers - 2 engine, 1 generator

I will ensure power is applied now and then to charge batteries.

What else I am forgetting to do ?

Thanks.
