Location: Cave Run Lake KY. | Mike - - You should be fine, but anytime your on the water with freezeing water temps you can ice up. We fish year round here on Cave Run and have very few problems with the ice. I kept my guide boat in the water year round at Long bow marine and had the boat freeze in every year with 3" of ice. We allways kept our motor's strait up and down and I whould start mine up and let it run for about one hr. every two or three days. The ice never damaged the boats as the marina's go up and down with the water level. ONE THING TO DO when you pull your boat out to leave is to make sure all the water is drained out of the lower unit and the boat. The new Four CL. motors hold more water in them then the 2CL's do and I run mine all the way up and down twice just to make sure all the water is out of the lower unit. Have fun and take care.
