    Yep, it's that time! :-(

    the big J hose and the hoses running to the coolers need to be drained yes, you need to use a good PG AF and leave in the engine. if you have a brand new engine, why did you not install a heat exchanger?

    Best way to waterproof plywood transom

    The best is Woodonglass's "oldtimers formula" 1 part boiled linseed oil, 1 part spar varnish, 2 parts mineral spirits. let it soak in for a few coats, then cover with spar varnish.
