Mooring through the winter

[Dgilchrist]

Anyone mooring their Cutwater through the winter in very cold climates? Other than antifreeze in the water systems, a heater/dehumidifier and tilting the engine out of the water, is there anything you recommend doing? Shore power will be plugged in. Anything to do with the AC/heater system?

Probably wouldn't leave the motor tilted up unless it will be well above freezing. Water trapped in nosecone, or cooling passages can crack the lower unit, or distort it enough to cause drive problems. Tilt it down, and use a bubbler if needed.
