    Ok latest update: struggled with that bottom hose for almost an hour but finally got it off, let's just say I'll be ordering a new one 🙄 I lowered it into the bilge and drained it before I got it off, nothing else came out when I fid so I think in the future disconnecting from the top and...

    Thanks, I'll give that large hose another shot after work, you have to be a real contortionist to work on these things!! So that pic I posted is the oil cooler? As far as the drive goes, does it matter if I drain the water first before changing the gear oil?

    Thanks guys for the quick responses, lots of good info here. I spent a while looking for a boat that I felt was well taken care of, don't want to screw things up now!

    Hi, New boat owner and newbie here, I just bought a 1992 Four Winns 190 Horizon with a 5.0 HO OMC Cobra. I've found some stuff in an OMC manual that was given to me but I want to order supplies so I can winterize this thing, and I'm afraid I'm going to forget something. I saw too many people...
