I would have to pull engine cover and exhaust manifolds to reach mine. So I opted for the insulated building option! :smile30: :grin:

Just pull the motor out and put it in the living room it makes a great coffee table.  And it needed a rebuild anyways didn't it?

    Larry L Lyons Wow...here in Nocona ground is froze and it is 22 degrees. ..just imagined it would be cold enough...actually thought that 31 for an extended period would be sufficient?

    Gaston B. Langston You think maybe some of that water laying in your bilge got some antifreeze in it when you did your block? A little bit is good to negative temps James Huff
    Larry Lyons. No sir. I always drain mine

I don't see the big worry about losing power and the drop light going out. Just put a candle in the bilge and that should provide enough light!!! :grin:

I never said otherwise. You always flappin your keyboard about how using a droplight is an untrustworthy method for freeze protection & then you are talkin about doing it. What makes it good for one & not the other? I didn't distort anything, but you do a good backpedal. :rolleyes:
