What is with your random use of characters?

You would only need to bump the engine once to get the rwp spun around and emptied.

A little late on this response, but if you are going to "drain only" and not add antifreeze, I'd suggest, after draining, you

(1) pull the safety lanyard and crank for a couple of seconds. Like you suggested, this will get some of the excess water out of the pump housing. However, given the orientation of the pump on the PCM engines, I don't see nearly as much water expelled as I did on my old Indmar. Probably not necessary, but old habits die hard.

(2) tow your boat around for about 5--10 minutes, over some small hills if available. If there is any water in the nooks and crannies of the cooling system, this can get it to drain. Don't believe me, leave your bilge plug in and see how much gets collected.

(3) leave your plugs out until spring.

I did this method with no problems at all. The only reason I use antifreeze on my Correct Craft is because (1) it's so easy to pour it in and (2) for whatever corrosion protection it might offer.
