newbie winterization questions

[firediver32]

I am new to fishing. I am itching to get out and try for some browns. I am a bit leary about taking the boat (95 trophy I/O) and having more winter weather show up after. I had the boat winterized, but what do I do (as far as the engine is concerned) if you go out this early and it shows/freezes again? I can handle getting water out of the bilges, etc, just not sure about the engine.....

Are you going to leave it slipped in the water or trailer it?

If it's on a trailer you'll have to drain the block & manifolds when you pull it and drop the drive so that will drain as well if there is a chance of freezing temps. Not a big deal. Just takes a few minutes after you pull it.
