much water. Could it still be coming as I drain it out? If so,
what to do about that?

Is the boat still in the water? If so then yes it will keep siphoning
from the lake.

Also, somewhere I got the idea that it's good to open the
system where the thermostat would go and fill it with
anti-freeze, to take care of pockets where water could
still be trapped and maybe even to keep gaskets etc
from drying out. Is that something I should do? If so,
would a 50/50 mix be good enough?

You should find what you need he
