Quick winterizing question ?
I tried the pour through method this year on both my boats. After opening all the drains, {water is out} I poured the anti freeze down one of the line up by my t-stat. I kept pouring till I heard it draining out the exhaust. Am I good now ? Every other year Ive used the bucket method and had the engine pull the anti freeze through. Pour through seems much better and for sure is faster. |

Drained yes on both. Will it reach the tranny cooler this way ?

If you pour enough and it comes out the pick up screen on the bottom of the boat.

Not sure if I got that much antifreeze in ? Either way draining the tranny cooler is enough to keep it safe ?

Yes, tranny cooler does not need AF. Just needs to be empty. Same for strainer & RWP - they need to be empty!
You are good for the winter! |

take both hoses off the trans cooler and make sure all the water is out.
