    Usually my boat sits in my heated garage and gets used on days above freezing. This weekend I am headed to a frieds cabin and Saturday nights low is 26. (hard freeze) I have a I/O 190 Merc cruiser (uses water from lake to cool the block) Will I need to drain all the water from the block and maybe add some anti-freeze before the Saturday nights freeze? Or will the block/hull be enough insulation to keep water from freezing and cracking the block?????

    Thanks,

    Install an engine block heater that fits into the hose, plug it in and your will be good to go !!
