What works for me is to open close the seacock, open the drain plug and blow out the body with compressed air. No water in the valve, no freezing problem- We wet store ours. All hoses should be either dry or filled with antifreeze (potable type).

I do leave the cockpit drain cocks open.:eek: No problems so far (the river doesn't freeze where we are).
