Let's hear about what some of you guys have rigged up to keep those big blocks toasty I plan on winterizing the boat this week end with pink -50 antifreeze but was going to add a heating element for some added piece of mind

in 15 years ive winterized 1000 s of boats with -50 below pink and they all sat outside never a problem ,I see no need to do anything else
unless your in Alaska .the worst the pink stuff does at - 30 is get slushy .id be more worried if you put a heater or a light bulb in it all winter

Use better protection and don't worry about heating it. You'll sleep better.

Do Not Add Heat........The cool Metal Engine and Warm air will make Condensation, Everything will Rust, Even if its painted or coated, Trust Me.... I have used Light bulbs & Heaters..Just use Anti-Freeze or drain everything..

I'm having difficulty locating my port side block plugs on both motors. This weekend it's suppose to get below freezing for 2 nights. In case I don't get my winterization done before should I throw a light in at night or will it take more then just 2 nights dipping below 32 degrees.
