Lots of great info here.. I would add a word of caution concerning something I have not seen mentioned yet.. critters... About the only costly damage I have incurred during layover was caused by mice.. found their way into the outboard.. clogged and chewed stuff.. general mess.. Not to mention the mess they leave in any little nook elsewhere in the boat they happen to invade.. Between the mice and chipmunks where I live, its a constant battle.. I've heard mothballs may deter them.. going to try that this year...plus, I've enlisted the services of a cat..
Nothing worse in the spring than being greeted with a mouse-turd bunt cake...
