Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and I'm sure this question has been asked before but I wanted to find out about winterizing my 5.0 mercruiser bravo iii. According to the mercruiser manual and from what I have found on my engine I have the three point drain system. I have only found 4 blue wing nut type plugs on the engine. One up high near the centerline of the engine, one down low port side, and two on the starboard side on the inlet and outlet parts of the water pump. I pulled the one on the port side down low as well as the two on the starboard side. Quite a bit of water came out and I just wanted to make sure I was doing this correctly. It doesn't get extremely cold here but it' gets in the mid 20s every once in a while. Thanks in advance for any advice.
