A lightbulb in the engine compartment works great to keep the engine from freezing. It is hard to freeze an engine this time of year because the boat and outdrive are sitting in 40 deg. water. It can't go below 39 deg. Water is just that way.

But Paaleeze be careful where you place it. It can't get wet. It can't be against something that will be damaged by temperature. Vinyl, plastic, rubber, etc. And it can't be in an area where it can break! Spark + Fuel = FIRE!

Never quit!
