Draining the boat for the season...
"Tim" wrote in message ... Oh my, it got down to 21 dsegrees last night, and thismorning I thought, OH CRAP. I forgot to winterize the boat! Anyhow I headed into town to my warehouse and pulled the cover. opened the petcock on th little 4 cyl GM and the water poured out. I figured it wouldn't ahve frozen but then again.. I pulled the hoses and slopped the "pink stuff" to it till it was flushing well out of all open ports including the lower end. Thats one thing I like about he little GM inline 4, it's so easy to winterize. 10 to 15 minutes and it's over with. v-8 GM s? Thats a different story. drain plugs and petcocks in places you wouldn't dream of. Anyhow, I lowered the bottom end, pulled the battery and pushed it back in the corner. Just waiting for Aprl 2010 now...... Dang I thought it was cold here with a little frost on the roof when I got up. Then about 53 while driving into Oakland. Turned up the truck heater. But went to the Santa Cruz mountains to a tree farm for the Yule Tree. Very nice mid 60's. Glad the parents moved from the midwest before I was born. |
