Hello everyone. I bought my first boat: got a smoking deal on a 87 311. I was hoping for some help with two things. I’m in Maine where the winters are harsh and she is getting stored outside this year. While winterizing I poured about 6 gallons into the motors (454s) and no antifreeze was coming out the exhaust. I ended up cutting the motor and manually pouring it into the hoses. I couldn’t use the muffs as she has sea strainers.
How many gallons should these take? Is there a plug on the motor that I can pull where coolant would pour out to make sure it made it all the way thru? Really just trying to not risk there still being water in the system. While I’m asking anything special you New Englanders do to keep the trailer tires from weather cracking if it’s being left on the trailer. Appreciate any help/advice ahead of time.
