Just make sure there is no water sitting in them... run them dry, and if you're really worried about it, blow them out with a compressor, but they don't usually hold that much water.

For the most part, they're usually pretty easy to pop out as well for the winter. I do that with my livewell pumps only

It's easier to throw a bit of plumbing anti-freeze into the bottom of the boat then bilge it out, that has worked for me for a few years now.
