I may have only put my boat in the water once or twice this year but I have never winterized it. With this cold spell this week is the boat in danger of the engine cracking ?

I have an 07 seadoo jetboat

I did not winterize mine either, I put a little small heater in the engine bay to keep it warm.

Not sure if all this was necessary, but I wasn’t taking chances

Not sure if it was either but I like the idea.

All you do is pull some water safe antifreeze through muffs into your engine.

I have never winterized mine but I do drain all the water out once Im done for the season. I place a small heater in the engine bay to help raise the temp.

Also I would try and keep the north wind off the boat if possible.

I always crank my jet skis after pulling them out of the water. Rev it up a few times to blow the water out of the exhaust. Never had a problem and I live where it can go several days without getting above freezing.
