WARNING!! Inspect your Volvo Penta engines!!! During the cold snap I kept a space heater in the cabin of my 2019 C28 NW and opened the rear floor hatch and all cabinet doors inside. My boat is moored full time at Port Ludlow and I chacked my boat daily. After the thaw, I started my engine and didn't get any kind of warnings. I raised the engine cover to do a visual inspection, and discovered raw water spraying out of a crack on the end cap of my air cooler (the green canister on the side of the engine). Apparently the water froze in the can and ruptured the cap. The blank end cap come in plastic ($300) or metal ($900). My engine came with the plastic cap. Next year I'll add a space heater to the engine compartment.
