[quote PBH]I wouldn't risk it.
I'd take some RV antifreeze and the muffs. After you pull the boat for the night, hook up the muffs with a good funnel and run some antifreeze through the motor.
RV antifreeze is pretty cheap. Don't risk your engine block because you didn't want to spend $15 on some antifreeze.[/quote]
Muffs and antifreeze actually do very little, the thermostat doesn't open and the antifreeze can't circulate. Even on a warm day at wide open throttle it takes a while for the thermostat to open. I will just plan to contort around the motor and drain it each night if we go, but I really want to use my full enclosure and catch some burbot!!
