My guess is that that marina never wants to see your boat again and are perfectly happy to eat the cost of the unnecessary fuel pump. They also have no desire to remove it since it is of no real value to them and they'd have to provide the labor.

My advice it to learn to Winterize it yourself, it's not hard. I ALWAYS drain all the water out of the engine, cool fuel module (if applicable), coolant hoses, and exhaust manifolds, THEN replace the water with RV/Marine anti-freeze. If you skip the drain step, you run the risk of diluting the anti-freeze too much. If you skip the anti-freeze step, you run the risk of sediment in the block holding water and freezing.
