Robert and Jonathon, and all,
Thanks for the tips; are there suggestions about best practices when
doing oil changes on the 34?
Mark

Subject: Winterizing Advice sought for C&C34
Mark:
If your boat in 'on the hard', you will need a few pieces of
hardware to do the job.....oil pump, garden hose, large bucket and
a 10' foot piece of the hose the same diameter as the hose that
attaches to your raw water pump.
Remove the hose on the inlet side of your water pump....attach the
10' piece to the water pump and place the other end in the bucket
in the cockpit and fill with water from the garden hose......start
your engine and let it run until the engine reaches normal
operating temp......keep the water level in the bucket so you are
not sucking in air.
Shut engine down.....change the oil and filter.
Now empty water from the bucket and put your antifreeze in the
bucket......2 gallons will be more than enough.....start your
engine and run until you see antifreeze exiting from your
exhaust.....shut engine down.
Some people leave the 10' hose connected to the water pump all
winter....makes it easy in the Spring to start your engine before
launch to retrieve the antifreeze in the engine. Some disconnect
it and reconnect the raw water hose.
Hope this helps.
