Hello All,

What lines do I remove and pinch off to add antifreeze to the engine,pipe and pump for winter time.



Doing a boat with V-6,V-8 inboards were easy.

There is a flush port in the back, I use a bilige pump and bucket to pump a gallon or so kf antifreeze through tbe system. Then change the oil in your jet pump just in case water got in. ,.fog ski and your done

Easy enough then. Thanks for the help.

I forgot to mention, make sure the engine is running anytime you are pumping anything through it

Oh yes I know to start engine then turn water on to flush shut off water then engine. So figured it was same way when you told me how to add the antifreeze.

Question: I can't get mine started but I need to store in a unheated barn. I held up antifreeze up high through the hose in the intake and got antifreeze coming out the exhaust. Is that good enough?

That is actually really bad.

With the engine not running there is a very good chance you got antifreeze inside the engine.

You better pull the sparkplugs and crank it over and hopefully no antifreeze shoots out.

Wow.Thanks.

I turned it over and didn't see any antifreeze, just gas.
Do you think some of the antifreeze stayed in the jug around the cylinder?
BTW, do you like my Halloween pic?
