BTW, (to the group) Whatever happened to Skipper? Usually he is here at
this time of year promoting his bucket method of winterization.

=================================================

Skipper appears to have capsized his prairie schooner on the shoals of
life or was perhaps pitch poled by the amber waves of grain. He was
never really the same after that trip to Alaska to inspect his rusted
out, dream-boat, fishing troller. A fantasy snagged on the horns of a
reality check it seems.

Actually, the bucket method is fairly low risk on an FWC engine in my
opinion and experience. The problem I always had with raw water
engines was the possibility that the thermostat was not open at the
time the anti- freeze was going through the block. Even that is low
risk however if you have petcocks for draining the low everything.

Let's see if we can rekindle an old wrecked.boats controversy! If
that works we can start a thread on the best way to remove a steering
wheel, or, "what to name a cop's boat". This
all-chain-rode-anchor-dragging-catenary cr*p is getting old, and
multi-weight oil just isn't heating up and thinning out like it used
to. Jax can inspire controversy but not with Skipper's deft touch.
