Check your outboard engines.

Let that shite thaw out before you run it, at worst, replace the lower unit oil. It’s all good

I lower mine all the way at the landing every trip. A precaution for the dry wall in my garage.

my boat is inside my shop, shouldn't it be fine?

Good post.

I ran mine yesterday morning at dawn to go check some catfish traps behind my house. Had left the boat in the water with the foot down. There was water trapped in the water pump indicator hose that froze. As the motor warmed(slowly, it was 25 degrees) the water started to flow.

Almost took a spill getting in the boat because shrimp boots don’t do well on ice and I’m not used to having ice in my boat .

Thought I was going to fill my traps but only caught about 30. Which I was still glad for because we are going to eat them Friday night.

I started a thread about this last week. According to the majority of posters here, as long as the motor is lowered all the way down, it should be fine as the water would pretty much all drain out.

mine is sitting on trailer out in the elements just like this. Here's to hoping its all ok.

Same here. I have mine tilted down as much as possible. Hopefully even if there is water in the lower unit, its not enough to damage anything if frozen.

Just sold my boat... someone else's problem now.

Bunch of boats on lifts and all will be fine as long as the seals have not let water in the lower. Grease isn’t going to expand went cold but water will.
