how to winterize an 89 350 magnum without the drive installed?

[blue89turbo]

Just looking for some tips on winterizing my boat with the drive removed.

I was thinking of removing the 4 petcocks and disconnecting the p steering hose to drain. Then put the drains back in and hook up a hose to the intake near the gimbal and feed in antifreeze till I see it come out of the exhaust.
Then shut her down and remove the 4 petcocks and p steering hose again. Then to feed antifreeze in at the thermostat housing to each hose there.

Am I missing anything?

And yes I have done a bunch of searches on this topic but just want to confirm that I'm not missing anything.

Thanks for the help

Do you want to "Winterize" or just drain things so it doesn't freeze and break things. Big difference.

My main thing is to protect from freezing. But I also plan on fogging and stabil...
