I am concerned about the fish holds freezing up over winter.

This boat is saltwater moored, and I only get to it once a month or so in winter.

Problem is the holds seem to fill up with water... (Not sure if they fill from rainwater, but they do when hosing down the deck)

This boat has a pump for each hold, but the pumps are not automatic, and even if they were they dont drain the holds completely, leaving 3 or 4 inches of water on the bottom.
We get a lot of rain here in the winter, so I,m concerned about these holds filling, freezing, and wrecking the fiberglass and pumps.
I could put in some plumbing antifreeze, but as the holds fill it would dilute and be useless.
The design of these fish holds seem to be poor..
