Winter Weather

[Quayde]

Dropped my boat off to get some gel coat repair a couple weeks ago when the weather was in the 90s. He’s had it longer than expected and a freak cold front came in tonight and will have a temperature of about 30 for about 5 or 6 hours tonight. Because of the nature of the situation the boat hasn’t been winterized at all. It does have a light cover on it and he put it in an uninsulated metal garage. At this temperate and the short duration, do you think I have anything to worrry about regarding freezing damage? Daytime temperature today was 60 degrees. The boat is a 2019 Yamaha 190FSH Sport

I would not worry about it. Those temps for that amount of time are not cold enough to do any damage. If your concerned, stop by and start the engines, rev each one a few times to blow the water out of the waterboxes and your good to go.

Agree with above on the temp. When you do it, be careful, do not rev too high while the engine oil temp is low. It will not have time to warm up. I did mine a couple of days ago after waiting for a 70° stretch of weather.
