Haven't had a chance to winterized the boat yet (brand new '14 H180 4.3 merc).

Last night we had an unusually cold night, dipped down to about -2C for a couple of hours. Normal lows are 10 or 11C.

Should I be worried?

If it dipped below freezing just for a few hrs, I don't think that's a problem but why not drain it now (takes a half hr st most) to make your life easier till you can do your full winterization.

If the boat was in the water I would not worry at all!

If it was nighttime, as long as it was dark, I would not worry about it either.

This is what I do this time of year. Too early to winterize fully, but cold enough that I want to make sure nothing will freeze.
