Hello, I have a dumb question.
Wasn't really expecting to sell my boat, but I decided to throw it out there for sale anyways. Well what do you know, people started fighting over it, despite it being wintertime. One guy wants me to run the engine on the trailer, and then he will take it as is. I offered for him to give a deposit and wait till he can drive it and so I can get everything going, but no, he wants it now. is it safe to run the motor below freezing on the trailer? Highest it ever gets nowadays is 20, at night it gets to 0. If I drain the water right after running it should be ok? I'm more concerned about that cold impeller, will it get messed up? And the engine oil, it is only really for summer use (merc 25w40)? any points appreciated. Motor is a 2000 3.0 (which is why I am selling it) Thanks
