quick question asap

[iron21]

hi,
just bought my first ski, a 96 seadoo xp today(spur of the moment) wasnt planning on buying it today....
well anyways, the owner had the hose connected to start it up. just got it back to my house with it and realized its supposed to get down to around 32 deg tonight here in nj. is there any last minute precautions i can take to avoid any freeze damage? thanks

Put it in your garage if you can.
I guess you could wrap a couple of packing blankets around it, too.

run the engine without the hose for a minute and blow out the water in the muffler, then remove the hose from the top where the flush hose is attached use a funnel and a small piece of hose and pour a little antifreeze in the block or unscrew the heat sending unit on the top of the head and pour the antifreeze in there.
or just get a drop lite with a 15 watt bulb in it and place it in the ski with the seat on and plug it in an extension cord, leave it on all night.
