[QUOTE="skeet, post: 493078, member: 31990"] Back in the late 70's i had an evinrude to freeze and crack the lower unit case. The motor was stowed tilted. The mechanic that replaced the lower unit explained that any water inside of the lower unit. Would migrate if tilted to the weakest part of the case.and freeze. But seeing water accumulate in the prop cavity is definitely a no no. It was an expensive lesson to learn. But learned very well. All boat experience has been painful and costly. The internet now has a wealth of info on right from wrong.. [/QUOTE]
