2019 Rinker Q3 Winterizing Question

We have a 1st season 2019 Rinker Q3 with only 36 hours on the Mercury FourStroke 200XL outboard in the Chesapeake Bay (Maryland). We've had a couple local mechanics give us differing winterizing requirements, so I figured I would turn to the Rinker experts. We are keeping our boat on a lift this winter but want to service it prior to wrapping.

Quick questions:
1. Do we need to change the lower gear oil as a part of winterizing this early?
2. Does anyone local recommend a good and trustworthy Rinker service marine / mechanic?
3. We have some electrical issues (only starts in Emergency mode - both batteries - and the SIMRAD flashes on and off; anyone know where the grounding bar is for the boat?
4. Given the wind-down of the Rinker brand, does anyone have a good POC at Polaris for handling warranty claims?

Thanks so much in advance, all!!

Best,

Mark
