Do I need to drain the block and hoses if I'm using one of those coolant

since it is sucking in the Anti Freeze and will displace any water left in

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.
