This might be a dumb question but what do I need to do to the boat?
I assume lower the motor and make sure all the water is drained out but what else?

I hang a 100 watt light bulb next to the foot. For temps below 20, I also hang a blanket or tarp over the motor to help hold in the heat :-D Also, if you have a water seperator, make sure to empty any water out of it :thumbup: :beer:
