You will know very quickly in the spring when you start up your motor. On the other hand, if your motor is an open cooling system, which means that it pumps sea or lake water through the motor, there is a good chance that you will have a cracked block, which will unfortunately be expensive to repair. If your motor is a closed cooling unit, which means that it has a heat exchanger and antifreeze, there is a good chance that the damage will be minimal if at all. The amount of damage to your motor and drive from freezing will be more dependent on the amount of water in your motor and lower unit than on how much grease you used.
Do you think I may have a problem this spring since the temps have been 0-30 over the past two months? Anything I can do now to eliminate a future problem?
I had not used the boat in 4-5 months before I moved from FL and had greased the lower unit pretty well the year before. I moved to Colorado with my 20′ Wellcraft Alpha one and did not have time to winterize.
