Map Guy Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I'm thinking of using my boat this winter on the river, but I'm nervous about using it in freezing temps.Does have any tips to make sure the boat, motor or other equipment doesn't get damaged from cold temps or freezing water?Thanks for the help.

Matt C Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Just make sure to drain your live wells, tilt the motor all the way down to ensure all the water runs out, keep the batteries charged. I put a little bit of RV Anti freeze in the hull just in case some water gets in there.You'll be good to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkedAgain Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 What kind of motor do you have, inboard or outboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solbes Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 You have to go way back to October, when we seemingly last had very cold temperatures:http://www.fishingminnesota.com/forum/ub...win#Post2033018Anyway some good info there and another thread or two referenced within Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Map Guy Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 I have an outboard (115 Mercury 4 Stroke).Thanks for the tips guys and the links to the other threads. That was exactly waht I was looking for. Looks pretty simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
