Welcome to Iboats 123landrover.

In the future, post questions about your engine in the mercury/mariner section as your powerhead is the same as an outboard powerhead.

Thank being said. Outboard powerheads are self draining and do not retain water. I don't know how you put 5 gallons of antifreeze in the block but it has all run out on the ground by now.
Also, make sure you jack the front of the boat up real high to drain the mufflers/waterboxes.

Jason,thank you for your speedy reply.I was going to post on outboard section but thought against it due to I/O config. Steve
