Another reason I pulled mine out was so I could drop the legs vertically without them being in the ocean, for the freeze that is coming up.

Fired my little diesel up yesterday to suck a gallon or so of glycol through the raw water system. I keep a little heater in the engine compartment that kicks in at +3C but better to be safe than sorry with the temp drop that's suppose to be coming. It's only a 5-min job so worth doing for piece of mind.

Picked up a 2017 300 Verado, came with the complete dual helm dts controls, vessel view 4 display, active trim module, power steering pump and hoses, tilt front helm and second rear helm, and also an enertia eco 17p prop, the rigging it came with adds up to more then what I paid for motor and rigging, I will need to extend the leg to 30” but I couldn’t say no to the price, anyone have a 30” driveshaft kicking around?

There was one in the buy sell section of the forums. Ask Ezz if he still has it

Haha. A plug in heater cause it’s cold as balls out. I open my battery compartment and circulate some air through it. But, I do have a wallas diesel heater in my boat.

Hi
I just posted a thread looking for pictures of a diesel heater install in a Kingfisher, mine is a 2425, but they are generally all the same, I think the boat in your picture is a Kingfisher as well? Mind sharing some pictures or information of where the heater is installed, where the exhaust exits the hull, where the fuel tank is mounted etc?

Yesterday I sat there and ran everything up and had two heaters going trying to defrost all my waterlines. I had my regular heater going but it couldn't keep up I guess. Finally got things flowing after a couple hours. Drained the lines and left the pumps off. Left the espar going overnight. Even the raw water line was frozen up! Thank god these crazy temps aren't going to last much longer. I'll be taking the kid over to Trout Lake for a skate tomorrow. It's next door. Crazy that this is the third time it's frozen in a 6 year span. Used to be a once in a decade kinda thing.

Yes, they dropped the “global warming“ name long ago, and have been calling it climate change since.
