Too Cold to Get Boat Out

Im planning on pulling my boat out of the limestone mine where I have it stored, and towing it up to Chautauqua.  I see now that temps at Chautauqua are falling below freezing the next 3 days.  Highs in the 40s, lows in 30s overnight.  Should I wait?  I don't want to deal with ice in my engine.  Im thinking that as long as it doesn't stay below freezing for a long period of time that I should be ok.  What are your opinions?

IMHO its not a hard freeze and you will be good overnight. Also if its a I/O, the outdrive will conduct the "heat" from the water to your block as well as the bottom of your boat doing the same to your engine compartment while sitting in 45* water. I would not worry about it.
