No, "we just switch to Guiness beer" from the southerners. I was at the shop this weekend and some of the guys (read not mine) were swapping out a motor for a guy who decided not to winterize his boat this past season and I thought I would share what was found when the motor was pulled out.

Why you winterize.... the other side of the block was just as bad. Apparently ice can create pressure in excess of 10K lbs/sq inch.

The same applies to plumbing in your house in the event that your heating system fails.

Don't ask me how I know this.
