I own a 19' SeaRay IO & with the out drive down, with it against the back wall the ball hitch comes within 9" of the garage door on a 24' garage.
The folding tongue trailers help but you are hard getting much of a boat in a 19'7" garage unless you angle it.
In addition for me to back the boat...
I flushed my block with the -50°F anti-freeze & checked the anti-freeze that came out. The water/anti-freeze solution froze in my freezer to a slush at +5°F. My boat is in my garage so I don't think it will get that cold.
That was just what I was thinking, your prop has a rubber bushing inside of it. If the pressure gets too high the rubber bushing will slip instead of breaking your gears in your lower unit. You will just have to remove your prop & old bushing then slide a new bushing in the prop then reinstall...

Give them a call to find out how much their rebuilds cost...
