Winterizing 8.1 GXi E
Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2023 6:22 am
Does anyone have a comprehensive list of items to drain on this engine / boat setup? 2005 272 w 8.1 GXi E
1) Raw water pump
2) Circulation pump
3) Block, P&S
4) Manifolds, P&S
5) Heater core
6) Oil cooler?
7) Fuel filter housing?
8) T Stat housing?
Do 6, 7 & 8 drain via any of 1 -4, or must they be done separately?
The VP manuals don’t mention draining 5 - 8. I know for certain 5 must be done, but dont know about the others.
Also my boat has a head on it. We never used it, but does that system need any winterizing?
Thanks
