Inboard engine winterization

The OP only came here to ask how much antifreeze he will need! I think he had that information by about post #11.

If that were a relevant criteria most threads on the forum would only be about 3 posts long! :encouragement:

Perhaps the mods should look at longer ones and close them once they drift off track!

I know that my exhaust has places where water lies, water trap, muffler, gearbox cooling etc. Once ashore, I run the engine with a temporary fresh water supply to flush any salt out of the system, to cut down on corrosion, and just before stopping the engine, I introduce antifreeze into it, partly as a corrosion inhibitor, and partly to stop any of the trapped water freezing, and possibly causing damage. I consider the cost of 5 litres of antifreeze to be a well spent insurance premium.
