I can tell you that the best thing that I ever bought was a Trac Ecological flushing cap that replaces the strainer caps with a plastic cap with a hose fitting. I put a seacock valve and clear water hose mounted to a 5 gallon bucket with the flushing cap on the end. Replace the cap, fill the bucket with 5 gallons of antifreeze, close your raw water intake, and fire it up. 5 minute job for both engines. Our marina charges $166 per engine plus $18 a gallon for pink antifreeze. Ridiculous. Mine are gas. I use the same cap for the AC and Genny strainer which is too large to screw on, but works fine to just hold in place over the strainer with the same result. For whatever reason, they don't make the flushing cap for the smaller strainers.
I bought the trac cap also but I have diesels and use PVC pieces. I take 6-8 gallons of antifreeze. I bought a Walmart 15 gallon tub and full it with antifreeze and then just open it. I’ll look. I did make a checklist and can share it when I get to my computer.
Scooper has one also.
