Table Rock Lake

That's a lot for a bilge heater to overcome. I'd be nervous too. I'm nervous just because my closed cooling anti freeze only tested to -30 the last time I checked it at the beginning of 2020.

 

My slip neighbor uses a bilge heater and puts a small ceramic heater in the cabin in their boat. Makes me nervous for them. Two engines and a genny in these temps is a lot to cover with a little bilge heater.

 

what is the water temperature there?

 

It's currently 42.5 F on the surface. It's dropped 3 degrees this week alone.

 

should be easy enough to keep things from freezing with that water temp.

 

Well, I never said my memory was good.....just that I couldn't remember. Thanks for posting that Jeff.

 

What was your low temp this morning?

 

Wow, regular temp, that’s crazy. We have been about -1 or zero the last couple mornings. I am fully winterized, (central Illinois) but still hoping my bilge heater has kept it to 40 degrees consistently. I just have it going to keep it from getting that cold....

 

It was -15 here at our place, but we are just North of Branson up on a ridge, off hwy 160. Most of Branson (and I think the lake) was -10. I sent my two teenagers out on the back deck with a gallon pitcher of boiling water to toss into the air and watch it vaporize.

 

i assume he had a bilge heater, did he have his vents covered?

 

Incredible. I don’t know how you guys do it. Surely a rugged bunch, you are.
I live in south Louisiana. It made 20 at my house. I thought the world was going to end!
