Yet another post from me as I learn a new engine/boat.
I see that the 6.2 has more of a single point drain system, with exception to the drain plugs on the water pump and t-stat housing. I see, what was a drain plug on the engine block of my old boat, fittings connected to hoses that connect to the hose coming off the water distro fitting. With my old engine, when I pulled the plug, I would stick a wire/coat hanger in the hole to clear out the junk so that the water could drain.
Is this something that needs to be done on the 6.2? Meaning pulling the hoses off the fittings to jamb a wire up the hole to clear the junk out?
Also, I have have the original Gen 3 Cool Fuel module. Do I need to unbolt the hose bracket so that the water drains out of that to?
So far, I've counted 4 blue drain plugs...2 for the water pump, 1 at the t-state housing and 1 at the water distro fitting....is this correct?
Are there any other hoses that should be pulled to ensure all the water has drained out? I think I've read some posts in the past where some folks don't like these new "single" drain point systems.
