I agree with those that suggest a heater of some kind if nothing can be done. It's amazing what a 100w bulb can do. But to put your mind a bit at ease, the water has to freeze pretty solid to have enough pressure to crack the block. First it goes through the mushy stage and expands in all directions it can without stress. And if it's getting above freezing during the day that helps a lot. Temp of the water you're in will also have a moderating effect. That said, if you can do the heater/light bulb it's worth it. My boat was winterized incorrectly for a PO and that's why I'm lucky enough to have a Universal diesel instead of an A-4. Ron Wild Cheri C&C 30-1 STL

I did the sink/shower plumbing while the boat was still at the dock. As luck (or Murphy) would have it, the nighttime temperatures are supposed to get down to the 20s for the next three nights. There is not much I can do about it now, so how worried should I be about freeze damage to the systems, especially since it now has fresh water in it from the trip up the river to the winter home.
