Ok, I've decided it's probably easiest to just drain the block when winter hits here for winterizing, because in the Seattle area, we don't get the super cold winters seen in the Midwest. I really see no reason to use anti-freeze, as it will only be winterized for a few months before the spring then hits, and the boat goes back in the water.
So, does anyone have a pic or video description as to exactly how to properly drain the block on a 3.0L?
I see a brass fitting on the port side of the lower block in the bilge. I don't see any actual valves, like pet-cocks. Just a brass fitting that requires a wrench. It has a hole in it, like it would be a tubing fitting or something. Is this the drain?
If so, do I need to do anything else, like blow air through the system somehow to dry the inside of the water channels?
