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).

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. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD
