With all this talk of busted blocks and sub-zero weather, I could not stand it any longer. I opened the hatch and rechecked the coolant in the closed cooling system. Then I took some lines loose and using the shop vac, started sucking all the pink stuff out of the system.. Pulled from about every point I could think of. Then, I left a light in the bildge just in case. I feel better now.....

I was thinking maybe you stuck the shop vac in your bilge, and ran a long insulated hose to the garage to suck warm air into the boat ....
Your idea makes more sense...

Kinda like locking the barn after the horse is gone. What is done is done and a few of us are in for a surprise next spring.
All these mild winters have set many of us up for a disapointment.

First year year mine has been in a heated building. Even with that said, I still winterized the blocks as I do every year. No one has ever regretted taking to many precautions. Too much at risk!
