Default Yanmar engine oil

I mostly used the drains when the weather turned cold and
the boat was still in the water. No need to waste all that
AF.

I never trusted the salt water drain on the heat exchanger

to fully
drain the system. I prefer to flush completely with

antifreeze. I
suppose after that I could open the drain, just to be

safe.

Do you have a manual? Did you know there are drains for

Scotty or Jeff,
Do you have an oil filter part number? Fram or

whatever.

I just ran 3 gallons of anti-freeze through the

sea-water
side and collected
it in a bucket, poured it back into the 3 jugs and put

it
away for next
year's winterizing.
