Yes - once I drain the motor/exhaust manifolds, I put the blue drain plugs back in place. Ready for the next season.

    okay, so this is where I am getting confused. The antifreeze is not to be 'left' in the motor/leg? Its to be all drained, essentially 'Flushing' the water out and rinsing with RV antifreeze? Do I have that correct? I thought you had to flush the water out, fill with RV antifreeze and leave it all in there over the winter?

    Sorry if this seems so basic, but I don't want any room for misintreptation... otherwise I won't be enjoying my new boat next year. I also don't own a trailer of any kind... so winterizing things is all new to me.

    Some folks leave the rv antifreeze in all winter. I do not and can report that after many years, I have never suffered freeze damage. My thought process is if you do not have sufficient concentration of antifreeze to water, better to drain it and give it room to expand if it does freeze.
