Location: Alsip, IL | Is it bad for your boat/motor to be launched on days in the mid 20's then stored outdoors? I know guys fish in freezing temps so is it OK to just launch and wipe her down and park her until next time? I was planning on going a couple more times this month, but who knows with this weather. |

Location: oswego, il | After you pull the boat out of the water stop and lower your motor all the way down for a few minutes. This will drain all the water out of your motor. Dont forget to trim it back up and put the transom saver on before you leave. I don't need my four letter name accompanied by other four letter words more than it already is. |

Location: Alsip, IL | Haha. I had that four letter word accompany my name earlier when I left the manual livewell pump on and it over filled into my hull with probably 60 gallons of water on a 28 degree day. It bilged for 15 minutes. Worth it though got 1 more to add to the total this season. Chunky 40 incher, but dang was I cold out there.
