"I don't want to start a fight here but; i had to tap a manifold hole cause i left the plug out didn't have a cock. The threads went. So i tapped it installed a short pipe and a cap all brass.
Actually i think it's recommended that plugs be reinstalled. And cocks closed after winterization.
I spelled that wrong ? Oh well i never could spell well, or is that good, whatever, can't type well or good ether,and grammer chiiiiit, with a school teacher as a wife she gave up trying to teach me proper english.
Sooo the opinions of the old dogs i hang with maybe 5-6 boaters is poke the holes good, with a wire that has a little hook to make sure rust ain't clogging the hole and let drain, then close the cock or reinstall the plug so the threads don't go and then a little anti-freeze.
Me i pour anti-freeze so it goes down the drive also.
I started my boat up already all tight and good, so i must be doing something right."
