My boat is a solid glass hull, so my cabin temperature is very much influenced by the water temperature. If your boat is balsa cored you will have less heating from warmer water than I do. The temps are going back up, so you are likely fine for now, but I would not count TOO much on salt water being hard to freeze. The salt content of the rivers is highly variable depending on when it last rained. My engine is raw water cooled, so I am risking a lot more than a busted heat exchanger if it does freeze. You have shore power, so you can set up a heater if you want to. I like the ones that turn off if they fall over.

Your seal is only as good as the glue because you don't have enough surface contact between the threads.I like the idea of a tee, but I have not gotten around to installing one. Joe, I only winterized the fresh water and waste. I figure the Bay water is still in the mid-40s and I'm in salt water, so I should be OK with the engine. Am I delusional?

Our temps here in Maryland would be cold for *January*, let alone November. I usually don’t winterize until around Christmas, so I just turned the heat on the low 500 watt setting and set the thermostat to 50. Apparently it was not enough and when I got to work yesterday I looked at my cabin temp telemetry and it was down to 32 ☹ It warmed up to the 40s during the day at least. I checked last night and nothing had frozen, but I cranked the thermostat to about 80 before I left. The coldest it got last night in the cabin was 51 and it is 55 right now.
