[QUOTE="buckhunter24_7, post: 340046, member: 690"] What I do after I get the boat out of the water and away from the ramp is lower the motor all the way for a couple of minutes until it is done draining, than I fire the engine and shut it off right away, wait a few more minutes with the motor down. Good afternoon that. I’ve never had a problem in ten years. Also if using any hatches in the boat I put plastic bags under them so they do not freeze down. It sucks not being able to access your bait because the lid is frozen shut. If wearing a lot of clothes make dang sure you got a life jacket on because good luck swimming with bibs and a winter jacket. Bring a coffee can with also for when your trolling motor freezes into position. Just dip the can into the water and pour it on the frozen part of the motor and it will fix it. Bring a towel with and always wipe your hands before putting them back into your gloves. Hand warmers are dang near a must have because your hands are always wet or damp.
