Location: Roch NY | for a little extra peace of mind, crack the L/U drain plug and make sure the fluid is not milky. if on the off chance you have water in there and freezes it could cause big problems.
As for the rest of the motor, as long as you lower the motor all the way and drain it then any tiny bit of residual water will be fine, as there will be room for the water to expand as it freezes. its when theres no room for the expansion that you have problems.
If you're going to be hitting the water in below freezing weather, screw in the drain plug ahead of time, before it freezes. water in the threads could slow you down at the ramp while you wait for rolled up handwarmers in the hole to thaw it.  |
