I plan on using my boat sporadically throughout the winter. The temperatures in my area drop below freezing only a handful of times in the winter.
Last year I simply shut off the raw water through hull and took off the upper drain plug on the motor to drain the water out of the block.
Whenever I wanted to use the boat, I would simply put the drain tube cap back on and open the raw water intake prior to starting the engine. When I arrived back at the dock, I simply took the drain tube cap off and closed the raw water seacock again.
Is this an acceptable method of winterizing?
