Although I always suggest to have Inboards AND outboards properly winterized for storage, if yours is an Inboard it's almost a gaurantee it is frozen and severe damage has been done. As mentioned in this thread, sometimes even if you do winterize water becomes trapped in the engine by sand or rust. You will know when you crank the engine next time. It may not leak to the outside, but check your oil for water after it has ran for a minute or so as it may leak internally. We have already replaced three engines this past week.
