Northern climate people
How long does it have to be below freezing before a block/heads will freeze enough to cause some damage?? I just received a message that it will be going down to 20-25 degrees in N.W. Illinois tomorrow night. My boat is outside with water in the blocks. I am about an hours drive away. Do I need to put a heater by the motors or roll the dice ??

Re: Northern climate people
Never Can Be Too Careful With The Cost These Days To Replace A Motor, But The Rule Of Thumb Is That It Would Have To Be 20-25 Degrees Sustained For At Least A Day Or Two To Do Any Damage. It Takes 10 Minutes To Drop A Light Bulb Extension Cord Just To Be Extra Safe, But It Is Not Suppose To Hold The Temperatures For Any Period Of Time.

Re: Northern climate people
correct! have no fear...Indian summer is near
upper 20's for a few hours at night not going to hurt anything. I've set thermometers in my bildge and you'd be surprised how warm she'll stay.
A lite bulb don't hurt if you're not going to sleep none that night
