I ALWAYS carry a jump-start unit with me on the boat. It's a sealed 
wet-cell in a container with a couple of medium-length jumper cords 
attached, and a built-in charger - you plug it into the 110 v outlet to 
re-charge. I can't recall how many times it has gotten me home when I 
let the lights or other things run the starting battery down. Cost me 
$50, I think, at Wal-Mart,   Use one to start your engine, suck 
anti-freeze into the heat exchanger, if you have one, run the carb 
dry.   and - drain the carb too, as even run dry, some fuel is left in 
the carb after the engine quits
