Oil cooler hose adrift

[essexboy]

Hi
I went to the boat for the first time this year yesterday, boat is on the hard. after uncovering I looked down into the engine space and found the rubber end cover of the gearbox oil cooler off. I know I drained the raw water down after the boat was lifted, by opening the seacock, but I closed for it overwinter, so any ideas what would have "popped" this off ? /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Ice ?

Keep your fingers crossed that pushing the hose off is the only damage.

Make sure you drain all parts of the seawater sytem properly in future.
