Winter Boat Storage

I have heard that in a really cold spell a drop light hung in the engine box keeps it warm and dry, thoughts? Here in the California foothills mid 20's would be a hard freeze.

The lightbuld thing is risky. Had a friend lose 2 502's last years with an extreme heater. Lost power while he was out of town. That was in Texas. Pulling plugs is quick and fail proof.

Good to know Joie, I figured since our cold snaps are brief it could be used over night lows,... any one else out there use one for brief periods monitored daily?

Addition to all above, toward the end of the season I start running gas that does not have ethanol...

When I winterize, I pull out the carpet and other stuff from the lockers that might attract damp air.
