Well I never actually timed the process ,but I have never had to rush
around during it either ! It is a little SB 8 so how much water does it
really need (haha)

That's pretty much how I go about it with the exception that I have
crew monitor the bucket of antifreeze to ensure that it never goes dry .
It takes my SB 8 Yanmar about 3-4 minutes to start spewing antifreeze
out of the exhaust . at which point I stop the engine . The next step
is to open the cooling circuit drain on the right (Portside) side of
the engine to ensure that antifreeze is past the thermostat .The
important thing is to get as much water out of the internal engine
circuits as possible and fill it with antifreeze

and would like some advices on the practical way to fill up the raw
water circuit with antifreeze. I plan on detaching the intake tube
of the raw water circuit from the seacock and putting it in a bucket
filled with antifreeze (I'm aiming for 2 gallons, is that enough?).
Then, I assume I need to start up the engine and wait until
antifreeze comes out from the exhaust thruhull.
Should I just crank up the engine (with decompression lever open)?
If I need to start the engine, how long should I expect to it? Do
you leave the tube in the bucket unattended while you stand near the
control panel to stop the engine?
Thanks in advance!
