Default winterizing question

I have a Donzi Regazza with a 5.7 Mercruiser. I live in the Northeast and
the boat will be shrinkwrapped outside. I'm debating two things. Should I
leave the tank (Metal) full with gas and add stabil or should it be empty?
Also should I drain the engine from coolant (raw water cooled) or run the
"pink stuff" through it until it comes out? Thanks in advance. David


I suggest that since you seem to lack experience, you take it to a
reputable dealer and have it winterized there and have the other
regular maintenance done at the same time. I witnessed at my local
marina this summer the result of an improperly winterized 5.7 (efi) ...
what a shame.
