Two questions for you. First time doing this myself. Haven't drained it ever cause where the boat is it never freezes. Local told me it’s still a good idea if it’s not ran regularly in the winter months. Claims the motor full of water creates more condensation and corrosion if it’s not ran often. Temp swings from 40 to 70 is like cold water in a glass and a warm room. Condensation in parts that aren’t suppose to have water. Idk about all that but as easy as it is to drain the thing I figure it’s worth it. So first time doing this myself. All went smooth and easy but…..
Question 1. The water outlet tube from the v drive is a real PIA to get off. Any tricks to get it off other than pulling and twisting? Ended up pulling it from the impeller inlet and drained as much as I could. Inlet side wouldn’t come off either.
Question 2. Should the drain plug end look like this? Seems like it’s missing an anode or something.
Thanks for the Info. I searched the forum but couldn’t find anything. Maybe it’s just me and not knowing how to use the search function well.
