As a (very) late update... Apparently my block is fine. So... strange. Definitely cold enough that it should have cracked if there was water in it.
Willing to bet it siphoned through the block water pump and drained out other side or J hose

Interesting thought, the boat is often on a bit of a tilt.
Also though, had the same thing happen this year. This time I noticed some moisture beneath the starboard drain. I think I might have had a slow leak from that drain, dunno if it was there last year. This season I'd have a couple of cups of water in the bilge after running. Small enough that I thought it might be just from getting in/out of boat/water, but wondering if it just drained out in the couple of weeks between sitting and draining. I did notice that it took a while on muffs before it started exiting, but I didn't pay it too much mind at the time. If it's not too cold I may pull the leg next weekend and run it on a hose, see what comes out the drains.

That makes sense over time it may drain out sitting.
