Help with winterizing.. I have

Help with winterizing.. I have mercruiser 888 ford 5.0L V8 I have a 55 gallon drum cut in half under the stern filled with 5 gallons of antifreeze and the rest is water..
I run it until the antifreeze starts to come out.. my question is will this work ok
so I can go out and start about every week or two...I have done a trial run and it seems to suck up the antifreeze into the engine and kicks it out the back some misses the barrel but should get enough antifreeze into the engine.. can any one tell me what they think

"An anti-freeze of an automotive type should be a 60/40 mix. That's 60% anti-freeze. But since the boat will end up in the lake, river, whatever you need to use RV type anti-freeze.

This RV type of anti-freeze needs to be used without adding any water in order for it to protect the system from freezing."
 
thank you what I will do if y

thank you what I will do if you think this will work is put the ears or flusher on it and flush out the antifreeze before I go to a lake or river
back into the barrel
