JJO:

What boat do have: I/O, Inboard, FWC, RWC, Freshwater systems, etc.

Although there really isn't any "guarantee", I would say that you should be just fine. The water temps are in the low 50's right now, and that will actually help the bilge area stay warm. It may get down below freezing at night, but this time of the year, there shouldn't be any extended time below freezing where a hard freeze will have a chance to set in.

Good luck,
