Mercruiser inboard. V-8 carbed. thunderbolt iv or v. freshwater cooled. Not sure about years or numbers....
I went to start it for the first time this season and it wouldn't turn. Pulled some plugs and had some anti-freeze come out, mainly out of the rear plugs and the ones under the risers. I checked the anti-freeze with my checker and it says it is good. I did that in the fall too so I'm kinda ruling out a cracked block but am still nervous.
As far as winterizing, i did my usual. Check anti-freeze, drain saltwater side and run with anti-freeze, fog cylinders.
Risers were done 2 years ago, i'm not sure when the manifolds were done last.
I'm just looking for some clue on how I should go about checking how the anti-freeze is getting there.
