Links under Adults Only not working correctly. I tried the Winterize and Sumerize and they led me to the wrong page.

Thanks

We're working on it.

Over the years since I became a Mod, I have personally fixed Adults Only and other FAQs several times. It is continuous process because of the fluidity, especially links to outside resources. Even links to other iBoats threads to a specific post can change if the thread containing the post changes the post number. During the transfer to the new forum, the database was cleaned up and deleted posts were removed and post numbers were reassigned causing some links to break.

We're finding and fixing them. Hang in there for a little while longer.

or look in your factory service manual

drain the block drains and exhaust manifold drains - use a wire to probe the drains to make sure they are clear. if you have a 4.3, drain the thermostat housing drain as well. then pull the J-hose, the raw water pump cover to drain water out of the hoses.

then if you want to put anti freeze in the motor, put the hoses back on, start at the thermostat housing with a funnel and fill the water jacket up with anti freeze.
