I left my boat on the water. I drained all water hoses and lines and filled with anti freeze. Do I take inlet line off of the seawater pump and plug or leave it attatched?

Re: Inlet hose to seawater pump

anything with water inside can freeze and split a hose.seacock valve would be a better system
reminds me of a case where the engine was FWC and the owner wanted to go whiting fishing.
skim ice on the creek and the water inlet to the seawater pump and hose were frozen solid.
If they had split he would have went down

If you filled "all" the hoses with antifreeze, then you filled that one too.
