Frost Advisory

[brendanstl]

There is a frost advisory for our area tonight, kinda worried considering the fact that I got back home about an hour ago from puting a fresh motor that I rebuilt in my boat because the guy I bought it from didn't winterize it. Only supposed to be a frosting for about 5 or 6 hours in the early morning.

Re: Frost Advisory

if you are that worried why not drain the block/manifolds??

Re: Frost Advisory

Yeah, drain the block and manifold (not a full winterziation with anti freeze just drain them, bow high, trim down). I too have hot days and nights then a sudden dip to freezing temps before summer begins. if it is just close to freezing temps for a couple hours you should be fine (water doesn't freeze solid imedatally). What I have done when temps are gonna be too close for comfort, is to place an incadesent light on the boat (with the cover on) to warm the interior up a couple degrees and ease my mind.
