| - | maybe try warming up some windshield wiper fluid on the stove - then lift the stern up a bit and try to get the fluid to flow into the tube. I would think it would kind of displace the water and not re-freeze. | + | maybe try warming up some windshield wiper fluid on the stove - then lift the stern up a bit and try to get the fluid to flow into the tube.

| - | That might work. Im not sure if it could get the fluid to defrost 10 feet of tube from one end though. I was thinking if i could get it defrosted i could pour really salty water ( or wiper fluid) down the tubes. Then they wouldn’t freeze up over night. Just that defrosting part. | + | That might work.

| - | Eyebrow liner. Definately. Apply to your face so that no one recognizes the guy who couldn't steer his boat. But seriously, go easy on the rudder peddals in this case because applied force will tend to push the rudder cable sleeves around with good chance of movement where a leak point is created. | + | Eyebrow liner.

| - | If you have any hatches, you could use hair dryer to warm the inside of the hull. Back in the day our wives would find their hair dryers being used to dry out boots and boats. A caution here is to make sure not to pressurize the hull by not giving good exhaust port. (Blows the seams). Same deal with putting water in the boat in order to look for leaks or maybe just to rinse out the inside. Be very cautious on that. | + | If you have any hatches, you could use hair dryer to warm the inside of the hull.

| - | Maybe you don't need the eyebrow liner if you have enough Laphroag. Or Bulleit - which is cheaper and will clinically remove all sense of judgement more quickly. | + | Maybe you don't need the eyebrow liner if you have enough Laphroag.

| - | I have the boat at my girlfriends house now.. My cunning plan is to warm it up with a hair dryer and when it thaws tilt the boat and poor some windshield wiper fluid down the tubes (thanks Tom). This should keep it from freezing over night... Maybe. | + | I have the boat at my girlfriends house now..
