Re: trouble finding manual

Okay so I looked through both the service and the owners manual and cant seem to find anything about how many pet cocks are on the block or where they are wanted to see if anyone can tell me where I can find this info. Also wanted to know if just draining block and manifolds will keep from anything getting damaged while I am still stiper fishing because it drops below freezing at night and did not want to have to fully winterize after every weekend.Thank you for any help

Re: trouble finding manual

Volvo's old manuals were lame at best.
There is a block drain on each side of the engine
drains on the back of the exhaust manifolds.
Pull large hose off the engine circulation pump and drain.
Remove both hoses from the raw water pump and drain. Crank the engine over a couple of turns to empty the pump.
Drain the power steering oil cooler by removing a water hose.
That's it, all drained.
