When "on the hard" I leave ALL seacocks open,
aside from the engine intake, which stays closed to keep the
antifreeze in.


What is it you think will freeze if the engine intake is left open?


It's not what will freeze, it's what might expand and contract (the
antifreeze) and drip toxically on the ground. Bad form at the boat
club.
