I was taught by a technician at my local boat shop to use RV antifreeze. I think the reasoning is that it will displace or at least dilute any water that might still be in the engine.
If the boat has a heater dont forget to drain that too. I put an airline on the water inlet hose and blow m manilfolds through. You can also run antifreeze through it) as youn said, but not really needed, the main advantage of the antifreeze is it reduces rusting inside the cast iron parts
Hey mate! I have a question, is there any water to drain around the trans fluid system of a direct drive? I do not find a plug anode or any hoses connected directly to it. It’s a mastecraft RTP-1 2006. Thank you for making this video.
This video is incredibly helpful thank you! Just bought a 98 response and I was on the fence about doing it myself but this video cleared things up a lot! 1 question though do you leave the plugs off during the winter or reinstall after draining?
I usually replace and hook everything back up after just so its ready for the spring. You can leave them out as a quick check if you ever forget if you did it or not tho

Great job! Explained well and just what i needed! Thank you
Thanks for the great video. I’ve got a 93 echelon lx and I’m afraid to go without antifreeze but because of your video I’m going to do it.
Great video, exactly what I was looking for! Just got a 99 response this summer and you break this down very well.
Nice job. Do you have a transmission cooler that you need to drain?
He pointed at it 5:26, and drained it at 5:46.
Do you leave out to freeze plugs?
Thanks for this awesome video hoss!!!
Good video Connor. Can you comment on how to winterize the heater?

Where do you connect the garden hose to run it out of water ?
Do you fog the engine? I have a 98 Response with a carburetor and people always tell me to fog it.
Could be interested in your old windshield frame I have some problems there
Sorry, old windshield is already gone
Is there a reason why you don't pump any pink fluid through your water lines before you drain
There's nothing to freeze if you remove ALL the water from the lines
