With extreme cold coming are your boats ready. Any chance of water in the lower unit drain it. Pull both plugs let it out into a pan. Keeps lower unit from freezing and busting. Don’t forget to refill. Bait tanks completely empty. Pumps freeze and bust. All water out of bilge another pump to bust. Drain all water hoses in boat and around house.catchall.
Good advice Lee! After Tuesday’s fishing, I trimmed my motor completely down to drain all the water out of the foot and even dry started for a few seconds before leaving Acapulco. Here, I have lower unit wrapped in a bed sheet with a tight wrapping of heavy duty tarp all the way to the power head on top. My console is completely covered also to protect the gauges and electronics. Can’t be too careful with a boat on a trailer with the cold that is forecast.
