Hello,
This is the second year we have had our boat. The first year I went with the "muff" winterization method. Then I discovered I boats and learned that I dodged a bullet! This year after changing the oil, plugs, points, fuel filter, and filling the tank (I run marine sta-bil all season). I fogged the motor until it died. I drained the block from the petcock and the manifold from the brass plug. I then removed the hose from the water pump and poured antifreeze in the hose filling the block until it came out of the upper inlet where the hose was connected. (took about a gallon). Then I pulled the hose that goes from the thermostat housing to the manifold. I filled that until antifreeze ran out of the exhaust onto the driveway. Next, I pulled the water supply hose and filled that until I saw antifreeze come out of the water pickup on the drive. I just had the drive off for a complete rebuild, I also did u-joints, the gimbal bearing and alignment. So it do not see a point in pulling it again. So my question is, "am I done?" did i miss something? I have read the sticky. I just want to make sure that I did not miss something. Thanks
