| To clarify, the raw water pump hose is one of the U shaped ones in the front where the T drain is right. I understand this is where i am dumping the antifreeze. Is it the impeller side or the other? |

No it's not! As mentioned, it's the hose going to the "T" stat housing. Have you looked at the manual (under "layup") in the reference section or looked at previous posts?

| yes I have the manual and have seen the very dark photos, and as a PT 'the T stat housing' does not mean anything to me, kinda like me discussing proprioception to a mechanic.... anyhow all help is appreciated and color pictures clarify a ton! |

If youre not sure what a term means (like "t-stat housing" aka thermostat housing) then youre best off asking for clarification, rather than assume we mean "t drain handle".

The only problem I have doing this is the hose wants to kink & stop the flow of AF. I really should get a second long hose to remedy this. So far, I have just kept a towel handy to sop up the spills. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

Chris,  You unclamp at the "T"stat housing and swivel the hose to the up position! Am I missing something? I'm shocked!!  you are one of the most "mechanically inclined" members here!!------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

TRbenj, Thank you!!! This clarified everything. I was able to easily locate it and put some pink RV type AF in tonight just before it got dark and a burly cold snap is coming through Ca.
I still have to get it to the marine shop to replace the starter relay and do a few other things. So they will just need to hook the hose up to start it as needed then I can repeat the process of draining the motor and filing with 2 gallons of AF. At least I know how now!! Thank you all again!!! |

Pete, no need to unclamp and swivel anything- that isnt a molded hose. If a non-reinforced hose is installed there, I can see how it may kink. All of mine are reinforced and do not have this issue. ------------- |

Tim, I agree but a non-reinforced hose will take a "set" to the curve after time so swiveling it up will help with the kink problem. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
