Had them too...had to make up my own outdrive water intake cleaning tool to get those pesky critters out. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone could design a stern drive that lifted all the way out of the water like the old OMC stringers could?

I use AF as a protection against hard to reach puddles of water that won't drain. I drain the block and manifolds, put the plugs back in. Run 2-3 gallons of AF through the muffs, so that I'm not just diluting a block full of fresh water, then pull the plugs and drain it all out. It might take 20 minutes to do all of that.
