I have been searching, but havent found exactly what I am looking for. There is a ton of info on winterizing, but I am a new boat owner, and would appreciate it if someone would clear it up for me.I got my Seloc manual from iboats, but it doesnt spell it out for me. It says that I should drain the water out, but doesnt go into explicit detail.<br /><br />Winterizing/draining water out of a 1994 5.7L Merc (carbed). What and where should I drain? I know that there is water in the exhaust manifolds, in the main water line, and in the block itself (accessed by the drain plugs). <br /><br />So if someone has a free couple of minutes and doesnt mind, lets assume that I have gotten it up to operating temp in my driveway (using ear muffs). What steps would you take to ensure that all water is drained out of the engine? And if you dont mind, some detail. <br /><br />Example (keep in mind I kind of made this up, I know its a step, but am not certain of the details, or if it should be done first, middle, last, etc): <br />1st - drain water out of both exhaust manifolds. Plug is located in the bottom of the manifold, and be sure to stick a piece of wire up in there and wiggle it around.<br /><br />Thanks for any help.
