opinion? 496

[Schaf]

I have a 496 in my 22 and the boat is currently in a storage garage that is not heated. The temp is going down to about 29 degrees just for tonight. I have not had the boat winterized yet because I would like to get one more run in. Do you think it will be ok?? Thanks for your time.

yes,it should be ok.Its inside so it should be warmer then outside.When you start it again make sure its pumping water since water will freeze up in the hoses.Ive waited too-long twice and had to use a heat source on the outdrive to melt the ice.Didnt blow the block.lots of md boaters wait till dec to winterize.

Im in Md and dont winterize til December. It has to be way below freezing to freeze anything overnight
