Just talked to my mechanic and can't get the rig in for winterization and a couple of other issues until 11/6. I'm considering running some anti-freeze into the motor. Probably won't get that cold before but I don't want to be the milkshake guy next spring. Whadday think?

I don't want to get into a full winterization because he's going to be pulling it apart anyways. Just thinking an Ohio cold snap in November is not unheard of.

Pull the engine block plugs, pull the hoses (or whatever is required for your boats engine) half hour labour (guesstement) for peace of mind.
