If the intake valve is shut, then you may not have to but should anyhow. If it is open, you do for sure. There'll be a fitting under the hull where cooling water enters. You basically force antifreeze in there until it forces the water out and antifreeze comes out the drain fitting, usually just above the waterline. Even if that intake valve is off, water will enter where it exits.

You will have to look for the outlet or discharge which will look just like the bilge pump outlet.I think some later model Formulas the discharge is under the swim platform which is an unusual place.Charlie
