The Contessa Corner → Technical → Anti -Freeze in Bilge?
I recently relocated from Florida to Minnesota and I need some advice.
My boat is on a trailer and the drain plug has been removed but there is still a little water in the bottom so I was thinking of adding some anti-freeze. Is this a good idea?
If so, what type of anti-freeze is best for keeping the water that collects in the bilge from freezing?
I typically use a wet-vac with the filter removed to suck out any residual water, but if you want to use antifreeze, get the marine stuff that is less harmful to aquatic life.
Vince, Thanks for the reply. I did as you recommended with a shop vac and I got the bilge reasonably dry.
My concern relates to water that might enter during the winter so I am building a frame to support a 30 x 20 tarp to keep the snow off and the water out.
Is there anything else that I should be doing to keep my boat safe during the cold weather?
A 20 x 30 tarp with a frame is what I have been using for 4 seasons
