Will be putting the boat to bed for the winter and want to throw out an idea. I understand the part of winterizing about draining the water from the engine and the outdrive.
In addition to that, I thought of running glycol antifreeze through the block and the drive. Looks like an easy job by pulling a hose or the main lid off the housing right on the top/front of the engine. I was going to pour the fluid down and let it drain right back out. Or I could even fill up the block and just let the fluid stay inside.
Besdies getting any leftover water out, I figured it would also help with corrosion.
Just wondering if this is overkill, wasting my time or a good preventive maintenance procedure.???
