Hi,
the engine is sea water cooled, the boat is a 21 footer, and I wish I had a
garage or carport!
Would it make any sense to use a low wattage block heater?
How about the outdrive - does water sit in that lower unit?


Tony and others have some good advice, but in this case, if you set
the outdrive so it's in the down position, water will drain out of the
drive unit. To keep water out of it, just use a plastic bag and some
electrical tape around the prop.

A magnetic block heater would work fine also.

All the best,

Tom
