Joe: I race every Sunday - October to March. I winterized all systems except the engine. With a heater on board, I watch the temperature forecast. If it gets colder than thirty degrees, I run RV antifreeze through the heat exchanger. Many years ago with a previous boat, I relied on the heater. On an especially cold night, the marina lost power. The engine froze and the block cracked. A lot more expensive than a gallon of RV antifreeze.
