Could not find info on my specific set up.
I have a 1977, Mercruiser 140 and Mr-1 leg.
I have opened the three petcocks and drained the bloc and manifold. I have also lowered the leg into the down position. Then I saw a video that said to turn engine over for 5.6 seconds to "purge" the water in some areas (of the leg?) so I did that. Now I have a small heater that blows warm air into the engine bay on cold nights. The coldest it will get this coming week is 22'F and rising above freezing every day.
My question is mostly re leg. Are there cavities in there where water can freeze?
Any and all input is much appreciated.
Cheers...
Wayne
