Winterizing 1/4 full holding tank

With my outdrive stuck in forward, my season is done here in New England. The problem is I never got to pump out my holding tank which is about 1/4 full. Should I pour in some pink anti-freeze to keep from freezing and cracking the tank, then pump it out in the spring when the boat is fixed?

Are you thinking of disconnecting the pump out hose from the tank, and dropping the shopvac hose directly into the tank? You may need to do that, as (a) you probably couldn't establish a good seal from the waste nozzle on the side of the boat, and (b) the shopvac probably can't pull enough vacuum to suck the contents all that way.
