[Public-List] 2nd attempt ... Winterizing a GrayMarine SeaScout engine

  I am a little fuzzy on the location but I believe that the block plug is on the port side about half way back on the engine, between the second and third cylinders.  On the manifold it is on the port aft corner.  These is no oil cooler to my knowledge.  If you still have the original cast iron muffler there is a drain plug on the bottom of that as well.  These are all 1/8" pipe plugs if I remember correctly.  You might need to poke a wire into the hole to clear debris away to have the water drain.   I would also poor anti freeze solution into any hose on the top of the engine to fill the water system and then drain this as well.  This way if you don't get all the water drained then at least it will be mixed with some anti freeze.

Good afternoon all,

I'm not sure what happened to my last post. The text does not seem to have been transmitted to the list.

Our old Alberg came out of the water the day before yesterday. When I went to winterize the motor I realized that the GrayMarine Maintenance Manual leaves a bit to be desired in its information. While it says, helpfully, "... current models have 3 drain plugs, on cylinder block, on oil cooler and on exhaust manifold." it doesn't say where to look on the block and I am not sure where to look for the oil cooler.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Cheers,

Hugh
