draining water out of the bilge and engine

[randyr]

I use my tige about 2 to 3 times a month during the summer. I keep it in my garage when not in use. Should I drain the bilge and the water pumps from the engine every time I take it out of the water? Any advantage/disadvantage from doing it everytime?

I would not worry about draining the engine everytime but would drain the hull.

I only drain the engine in the winter months after I ride. I always drain the bilge area though.
