Re: Freezing outboard
Hey mopar.....They are fine if they are stored in the down position and all of the water is out of them. There's not enough water inside of them to expand and hurt anything if it freezes.
It's a good idea to drain and replace the lower unti oil though before the winter, just in case there is any water in it, so you you don't damage any internal parts or the case, plus then in the srping it's already done. Don't drain it and leave it empty though, rust can set in and you may not remember in the spring and run it dry, I've seen that happen.
