Sorry to be paranoid, but I would appreciate some input as to if I should have any concern. This was my first time to winterize the boat myself.
When I went to drain the water from the exhaust manifolds, I removed the connection of the larger hose at the bottom center of the manifold on both sides of the engine. There was a tee connection their with a smaller diameter hose on the other side of the tee. I also removed the connection of the hose at the bottom of the transmission cooler. I did get some water out of both sides.
However, I did not remove the the manifold plugs nor did I unscrew the garden hose looking connection as I have now read in the manual that I downloaded from MC.
I went on to remove both knock sensor plugs and drained the block, then I replaced the plugs and reattached the hoses and took the raw water intake hose and sucked 3 gal of RV antifreeze in.
Is there anyway that would leave me with concerns about the manifolds since I did not do it the way the manual said?
Thanks for any help.
