[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 522419, member: 22613"] It should start up unassisted with air temps well into the 20's. 2 strokes are known for starting easily in the cold. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Once you're done, lift the motor up near horizontal, let the water drip out, then set it down all the way. I had an '83 25hp Rude that was bad about trapping water if you didn't raise it up first, all of them will trap some water if you don't let the motor down near vertical to drain fully. [/QUOTE]
