hey guys, i went into the garage today and noticed a smell. looked in my live well and sure enough, 2 dead frozen suckers in about 10" of water with a 1/2" on ice on the surface.

i cleaned it all up, washed out the live well but am concerned about the water damage that could have happened. I bilged my boat and also winterized the engine but forgot that i left the live well switch on recerculate, which locks the water in the well while bildging.

does anyone have an idea of how to warm up your boat in the winter? mine is garage stored but would like to thaw it out and see if there is a problem. any suggestions?

also, what do you suspect the damage to be?

thanks.

Don't try to turn on the pump or move the selector cable until she warms and thaws, and you may be OK.

Talk to the auto repair shops in your town. Exsplain the situation, for a couple of bucks they may let you park it inside over night while it thaws
