Is there any water in the Bravo 3 outdrive?

[OllieC]

Today's the day I start my move from "NOOB" to experienced in Winterizing. Truth will be told next spring.

As far as water - Water in the block, manifold, fuel cooler, PS cooler all removed - is there anything in the Bravo 3 I need to worry about other than changing the oil?

Thanks again

Just lower the drive and it should empty, there are some drain holes in the drive you should check to make sure they are open.

Should I fog too? Through the throttle body below the spark arrestor?

There is a procedure for fogging MPI engines, you can't just squirt fogging oil into the throttle body.

Don I'm stuck - after I drained the water out completely, it won't intake any water now from the muffs. I thought maybe I should prime it by filling the block with water but that isn't working either . I see no water coming out if the out drive.

If it's sucking air from the inlet drain plug, it won't prime. The oring didn't fall off the plug did it? You did put the plugs back in didn't you?

Don,
It was all me. Being my first time I was a little paranoid about burning up my new impeller. I just had to be patient. It circulated through in about 30 sec.

Don - I can't thank you enough for all of your help on this.
