Here in S. Illinois. my boat stays outside for the most [art, but I
didn't worry about draining the block even when the temp got down to
30.F,

I was jsut hoping for at least one more 50-60 F. weekend, but i dont'
think thats going to happen, so I knew the temp was going to get down
in the teens, so then I started draining and flushing. But even then I
wouldn't have worried about it mch, because by then I could have it in
the garage, whis isn't heated... but is out int he open to where the
roof is always covered by sunlight, and seems to be at least ten
degrees warmer inside than out. but it's drained and stored now. I
suppose I did this the weekend before thanksgiving.
