5.0L MPI, raw water, no seawater pump, single point, manual, 2003. Why don't I just turn the blue circular handle every time I park this trailer boat? I always pull the bilge plug on account of a bad experience years ago. (I thought I had a slow leak in the visible tire while I was preoccupied for several months. However, boat's weight was increasing as it filled with rainwater.) I just winterized it for the first time and that's all you have to do. Pulling blue plugs is not in the manual and did not extract any more water. Turns out the downside of trusting the single point system is that the little tubes from the block to the drainage collector can become blocked over time. That won't happen if I use them regularly.
I would not post on Facebook if you paid me! Too much dumb aggravation!
