They are certainly not as tough to add antifreeze to.

I put mothballs in plastic containers (think sour cream or butter tubs) with the lids off, in strategic places throughout the boat to keep critters out.

I had outstanding water to surf and board last weekend at our lake outside KC. Was hoping to squeeze another day in before calling it a season, but didnt happen this week.
I'm also planning to store my XStar at Subtropolis this winter, but was hoping to wait until the end of October to pull boat out of lake for storage. Unfortunately, a cold front moved into the Midwest towards the end of the week and weatherman called for freezing temps Saturday night. Sure enough, temperature dropped below freezing for about 3 hours last night and I was worried sick that water in the coolant system might freeze. I consider taking a small portable electic heater to marina last night and placing it in rear locker to keep engine warm. I decided not to use heater because of possible risk of fire. Instead, I set alarm for 4am this morning and went out to marina and dropped boat in the drink to run engine and warm her up. Ran boat in slip for 20 minutes around 5am and then lifted XStar back out of water, closed her up, and went home to get an hour of shut eye. Did I overreact to the 1st frost of the year????? |

Being on the water even on lift is like an insulator this early in the off season...Miss Rita brought it up earlier in another thread. All that steam you see on water when the temp dives is heat leaving the water....
