Is there anything I can do to keep the cable from freezing up?

Antifreeze in a Cajun injector into the cable

This is the second morning in a row it has done it. The motor stays under my carport and the trailer freezes to the bottom of the boat.

Mine was froze at the carb yesterday mornin, so last night I wrapped an old Tshirt around it then taped a plastic Walmart sack on it. Took it off at the boat ramp this mornin and didn't have a problem with it.

Hey guys mine has froze too many times then I care to speak of, motor was useless in cold weather. I would have too exercise the throttle in the back of the boat manually which was dangerous. Just an idea and not sure if it will work for your motor but I was getting desperate and pissed off. What I did was remove a section of throttle cable sleeve in the middle exposing it and left about 10 or 12 inches on each end. It has worked great since then and no more problems. I keep the exposed part of the cable greased a little bit too stop corrosion and rust. Cable is cheap to replace vs the aggravation of a froze cable at ( O Dark Thirty in the morning). Just to add, my throttle cable is unconventional because I use a small screen door pulley and wheel clamped to the handle bar too keep the angle of the cable small before it hooks to the throttle arm on the motor. :D :P

Also, forgot to mention motor is a 6.5hp homemade surface drive.
