The 2JH2E is freshwater cooled right? Meaning it has a sealed glycol loop that recirculates AND an open seawater path that cools the glycol heat exchanger and goes on to cool the exhaust before editing the boat. To the best of my knowledge these freshwater yanmars do not have zincs. The need is

The most likely failure is with the fittings that attach to the heat exchanger. A PO may have unknowingly used brass fittings instead of the correct bronze ones. I mentioned this in another reply but the heat exchanger is most likely made of corrosion resistant materials specially for saltwater e

The water heater has a ~6 gallon capacity. If you attempt to freeze protect it then you would need to flush out the water with glycol and probably end up using 3 or 4 gallons in the process. Glycol isn't cheap and considering that you can eliminate the risk of freezing simply by draining, glycol
