You should listen to Cat. If you have an I/O engine or Inboard you should get it winterized. I would not use a heater. First of all they are a fire hazard especially in a closed in bilge where fumes can build up. Second they are prone to failure. Most engine block failures occur in the South b/c people feel that they do not need to winterize their engines. All it takes is a couple of days of below freezing temperatures to crack that block.
