I just got finished scraping ice off my son's windshield and now I'm wondering if I shoulda taken special precautions with my boat engine (?) My boat is outside, but covered. Should I suck antifreeze thru the system?

this weekend will be in the upper 30's to lower 40's for Sat night. I'll be out there too watching the parade.
Don't worry about antifreeze. Just pull the drain plugs on the engine and leave them out until you go boating again. This will allow any water thats in the engine to drain out.

One of the easiest ways to winterize is to remove all the water from the system. So use some compressed air and blow out the water. This what I did in NC because I used the boat whenever is was nice out. In the 8 years I was out there I only witerized with Anti frezze once. It got as low as 16*.
I hope this cold weather goes away quick.
