    Hey Chuck put fuel stabble in and just lower your motor so it will drain in your shed so the water will run out before it gets to freeze that night.

    Nothing special, when you get off the water tilt the engine all the way down to drain all the water, drain the hull and livewells. Keep a fuel stabilizer in your gas. If you haven't changed your lower unit oil yet this fall do that to ensure that you don't currently have a leak and that there is no water in the oil. If the oil looks good, not milky, it should be fine. Keep the batteries charged up.
