I purchased a 280DA this spring, so this will be my first fall/winter striper fishing with it. The boat is kept in a boatel that is not heated. I have always had outboards before this boat, so I am concerned about freezing, but plan to use the boat until the end of December. Its a 2004 so it has the blue knobs to do the quick engine drains, which I plan to do after each use, but I would also like to keep the fresh water system going as long as possible as well. So my question is directed to those of you that have or had experience in the middle bay area, how long can I wait before I absolutely should winterize the fresh water system, and how long can I wait before I start draining the blocks. I appreciate any/all advice.
