I have an outboard but sadly enough, its that time of year. We're in for 29-30 degrees overnight tonight but they're calling for mid 70s for Fri/Sat/Sun

Let's not confuse things, that is not "Winterizing" that's just draining the block and manifolds so it doesn't freeze. This is Winterizing.

Re: Winterize now!

Don s of course is right, i should have said drain the block and manifold now!

Hey Chief, The Belmar, NJ forcast calls for mid 40's tonight. I would be surprized if the Manalapan forcast was for a hard freeze.

Well, draining the manifld and block is goog practice. I presume you trailer your boat? If not, the water is still 60+ and will keep the motor fom freezing.
