I have a 4stroke 8hp electric
I have a 4stroke 8hp electric start Yamaha that I use to move a hunting blind boat in winter.
The boat stays in the water during the hunting season...Nov to Jan.
I don't want to leave the motor down in the water so I bring it up to full tilt up.
I'm wondering if this could allow trapped water to freeze and ruin the motor.
Would the water pump freeze and break if the water around the impeller was frozen?
Would the pump be damaged if I tried to start the motor with water frozen in the pump?
