right guys....the nice chap that I am means that I usually end up taking on maintenance duties on all my friends and family boats.
New to my friend is a maxum 2400 scr with a 2003 350 mag mpi.
Mom going to winterise it this weekend and only had a quick look at it without getting down and dirty with it. Access isn’t great currently with engine hatch still on.
Before I get to it and In about it, can any one with experience in these tell me specifically how many plugs there are.
I’ve winterised literally dozens of different gm V6 and V8 engines, but all with either an alpha one or a VP drive.
The usual is a plug each side of the block, one on each exhaust (either on elbow or at rear) sometimes one on t stat and maybe even power steering cooler.
Looking quickly at this one (only had good clothes on at time so didn’t look too hard), it seems there is one down low stbd side on a bulb shaped fitting, 1 on elbow maybe power steering cooler or cool fuel, it was dark. And another from around the stbd manifold.
Excuse the rubbish description. I don’t have a manual for this engine and it’s new to me. Problem is I couldn’t easily find plugs at the block (without trying too hard with clean clothes on). Is it possible there are pipe hoses from there to a communal drain point (maybe the bulb shaped thing mentioned earlier)
Is this maybe an early half breed version of the single point drain that I have on mine ?
im sure I’ll work it out when at the boat, but might be good to have a starter for 10. Cheers guys.
