If you remove the impeller, is there enough room for you to slip a small piece of siphon tube down into the lower hose to get the residual water out? You wouldn't have to get it all out, just enough so that if it froze, it wouldn't expand enough to damage anything. Maybe something like an oil extractor tube that fits in through the dipstick might fit in there.
