[Public-list] Winterising an Atomic 4

[George Dinwiddie]

I agree that antifreeze and draining seems redundant.  Here on the 
Chesapeake, I used to drain the engine and muffler.  Since my muffler 
doesn't have a drain, that meant disconnecting the hose and turning it 
upside down.  Now I use antifreeze.  Both methods have served me well.

I also change the oil in the winter.
