Moments after I took this picture the Kippen boys shoveled off the deck and headed out to go lobstering.
They got to about the Paint Factory when the engine alarm sounded. Realizing that the temperature of the engine had spiked dramatically they did the right thing and shut it down immediatly. Many times in the bitter cold cooling lines in engines freeze up and it can cause an engine to overheat. You can get a blown head gasket and many other problems. Shutting it down right away was the right course of action to prevent damage to the engine.
Kind of ironic that extreme cold creates a problem with overheating but that’s what happens when the coolant doesn’t get to circulate.
