Default winterizing mercruiser?

For my I/O & inboard customers, I drain everything, every petcock, and
then go w/ 100 percent anti-freeze at the water pump / muffs. There is no
way to get ALL the water out of all jackets/manifolds/block, so I get some
intermix, to less than 100 percent A/F, and run it until I get a good A/F
discharge at the exhaust.

Never a failure. Worst case scenario in -30F storage would be a little
"slush" in the engine, causing no damage.

Obviously you have never met Skipper. If he were here, he'd jump right in
and correct you on your method.
