Take it off and bring it inside. Jezzz you would do that for a pet wouldn't you? It stays nice and warm, you can drain the oil because it is warm, and you can look at it and think of next summer. They make nice conversation pieces

Thanks for the input. I am going to ask my wife tonight if it is okay to put the outdrive next to the TV. I can stare at my outdrive while my daughter watches Spongebob.

There ya go. They prop up rear nice in the corner. Just tell her you need to spin the shaft once a day to keep it from seizing. That would be for both shafts

Spongebob is the only show I watch on TV. 8pm - 2 episodes each night

I think my shaft might be siezed right now!! Gotta go find the wife and see if I can get here to spin it for me!! Bye
