<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN class=416463717-20112000>In the
water:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN class=416463717-20112000>1. Run engine
for half hour to open thermostat & heat up oil.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN class=416463717-20112000>2. Close the
thru-hull valve.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN class=416463717-20112000>3. Disconnect
raw water intake & put intake hose in bucket of low-toxic car
antifreeze. </SPAN></FONT><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN
class=416463717-20112000>(you could later put a bypass T in the line to
connect up with a garden hose fitting)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN class=416463717-20112000>4. Run engine
until you see antifreeze coming out of exhaust thru-hull. Do not run
engine without the hose in the antifreeze or your impeller may
disintegrate.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN class=416463717-20112000>5. Stop
engine, drain oil while warm & replace oil filter.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN class=416463717-20112000>6. Don't run
or turn engine again unless you reconnect hose with thru-hull and open it to
water, or have the hose in a bucket of antifreeze.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN class=416463717-20112000>Out of the
water:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=416463717-20112000>7. If the motor has a hand crank and you can turn
it without cardiac arrest you can crank until antifreeze comes out of
the exhaust, but if the engine is cold and the thermostat closed you may
not get sufficient antifreeze into the engine block. Some advocate turning
the motor over several times during the winter to lube things, but
this may remove some of the antifreeze.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN class=416463717-20112000>8. Clean up
any oil or soot in engine compartment.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
