For future reference there is no reason to buy "the pink stuff"
Once you drain the water you are done..... If you are running said pink stuff into the engine via muffs you are begging for a cracked block.... Draining the water in mandatory.

No water, no freeze. The anti-freeze won't freeze, problem is when you run it in, you're still mixxing it with water, dilluting it down, and raising the freeze point of it back up. Just open the drains and empty it out, then there is nothing to freeze.

Yup open the drains and poke a peice of wire in each one to clear any rust scale (good flow of water draining)
Then pull the lower hose from the water pump n dump it.... Last it's not a bad idea to pull a hose off the power steering cooler... Finally make sure to store the outdrive in the down position so the exhaust cavity can't hold water Sounds like a lot but only takes 15-20 minutes once you figure it out. EDIT: the above assumes raw water cooling.... If you have closed cooling then you only drain the manifolds/risers, raw water side of the heat exchanger, and the power steering cooler Last edited by smokeonthewater; 04-03-2016 at 12:36 AM.
