"I just winterized my 1998 Mer

"I just winterized my 1998 Mercruiser 5.0 EFI doing it myself for the first time. I pulled the two "blue" plugs on the bottom of each manifold, pulled the two blue plugs on each side of the block, pulled the blue plug on the oil/fuel/power steering cooler, and disconnected/drained the lower water pump hose. Anything else I need to do to avoid freezing something that I missed?"
 
"Sure. Run Pink Stuff through

"Sure. Run Pink Stuff through the motor 'til it comes out the back.

Those who omit this step are the ones crying elephant tears in the Spring. (Check out the latest issue of the Boat US 'Seaworthy' magazine for one of those guys who didn't bother running hte anti-freeze through.) Not only is this the ONLY safe way to ensure water is out of every nook and crannie, the Pink Stuff keeps all that naked metal from rusting all winter long.
