winterizing question for volvo 3.0 gl

[tobywaz]

I just realized after winterizing my volvo 3.0 gl inboard I may have screwed up. If the temp of the engine was not warm enough for the thermostat to open up and I ran antifreeze through the engine, roughly 4 gallons does that mean there is still water in the cooling system? I am afraid that because the thermostat didn't open I may still have water in the cooling system.
