[QUOTE="danmyersmn, post: 108728, member: 2096"] It won't drop below freezing until a few hours after sundown, then it would take an hour or two for the motor to be approaching that point. Then any water in oil needs to freeze and that wont happen until the oil drops in temp. By that time the sun is up and the temp is back on the rise. Freezing of water in the lower unit is only an issue for long periods of below freezing temps. For a few hours of below zero temps it nothing. Ignore it, go fishing! winterize it when its below freezing all day long and/or your done for the year. I also replace my oil in the fall. For the same reason, to get any water out before a long freeze. [/QUOTE]
