I am going to use my boat until the end of January. I flush the motor on the muffs after every trip but can water stay in the engine and freez causing damage?

Not if you leave the motor lowered. Only if you tip it up can water pool in the lower and then freeze

After you pull the boat out of the water and have the motor in the down position, turn it over a few times to make sure all the water is out.
