Weren't you worried about the cold air taking out the engines? I know I wouldn't run one unless the water was at least 50 and air was 65 or better

Wasn't worried. They are EFI theromostatically controlled Mercury engines. Only ran for a few minutes and back into a nice warm building.

I see "Disturbing Behaviour" is back from FL, Peter. That's a great way to get the salt out of her. Just let her run for awhile.
Let me know when the ice is off the lake and we'll get the Donzi out.
