yep, that cold snaps just leaving here today, for the most part. last nights temp was 23*F. i think it was a record low for around here.

myself, i'm still winterized. and thru. and fri around here is forecast for 32 and 33 respectively. maybe by weekend i'll think about gettin yer out, with luck. saving grace for me is i been out in my canoe three or four times already. not much to winterize on a canoe other than turn it upside down...

It was 80 here in nh over weekend. I took the boat out. I have since removed outdrive to replace bellows etc.
How do I put antifreeze back in without outdrive on. Its supposed to be 29 tonight
