I have been witerizing my boat every year a bravo 3 drive with a 5.8 mercruser with his own refrigirant system. Using red antfreze as soon as i see red come out I shut it off until spring, so far so good. my question is how about the fog spray when do I spray this? If I have the engine runing I lose the antifreze and after the fog the engine dies. How can I combine both?
Thanks to everybody for this great site.

You can also change the way you winterize the engine. I usually stall the motor with fog spray. Then open the block drains and the manifold drains and pull off a few hoses to physically drain all the raw water, then i pour in a couple gallons of antifreeze for good measure through the t-stat housing. Make sure you grease all the fittings as well."
