Josh,

 

I put a small oil-filled heater in the main cabin and keep it on low.  I
also remove the engine box cover and keep the head door open.  This ensures
that everything stays above freezing inside the boat.  I stay in the water
until January, then haul to start Spring maintenance.  Once I haul, I make
sure the water system is winterized, as I can't keep the boat plugged in
while on the hard (yard rules).

I have a fresh water cooled Yanmar.  Has any body considered blowing the
lines clear?  I actually added antifreeze last year and then blew it out
with a shop-vac.  I guess I should have kinda done it the other way around.
I could have probably blown it dry and then chased it with half a gallon (or
less) of antifreeze.   I have an RV friend that says he catches the
antifreeze from the sinks and reuses it every year.  Any thoughts on
blowing/leaving all the boat systems dry?

Anybody stay in the water through the winter?  I was thinking that the water
heater might keep the cabin above freezing.  BTW I'm in the Chesapeake Bay.
