water in trophy fishwells

[catalanc]

i see a lot of posts on this question and wanted follow up. I am looking at purchasing a 2006 trophy 2052. The port side fishwell has filled with water and it appears to be frozen solid. Will this cause any problems to the deck or pumps or ???
I appreciate any info.

Ice expands and can crack hoses pump housings and even a fiberglass well
if conditions are right. Avoid the buildup of ice as much as possible.

Hose down the well and remove the block of ice. Winterize the pumps and hoses to avoid the dreaded cracking and replacement of your valuable boat parts.

Good luck

I would be carefull. The hoses and fitting may be damaged.
