A cold spell is coming up in PNW. We have an engine area heater, which I think will keep the bilge pumps warm too?
We will also have a low wattage heater in the cab.

Someone had mentioned about draining any water that was in the faucets. What's the easiest way of doing that?

Anything else we should take care of?

Lowest temperature this weeks appears to be 27F.
 
At 27 F degrees as a low you should be fine with those 2 heaters. The sea water temp. the boat is sitting in has a lot to do with it. The sea water temp also effects the air temp right above it. Pressurized water needs long term temps in the low to mid 20's to freeze. If you keep your water pump off, I might run the water tank dry and leave the faucets open as a precaution. If you have the cabin heater running, I would keep all the interior hatches and doors open.
