Or y-valve another intake hose with a screened pick-up. Great for winterizing and another source of bilge water removal. Real simple and adds a little piece of mind

Mark From: Robert Abbott <robertabb...@eastlink.ca> To: Mark Meyer <fastguy1...@yahoo.com>; cnc-list@cnc-list.com Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 9:05 AM 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. Bob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S.

But I'm late winterizing the Diesel engine and am looking for advice and tricks to speed me through getting this engine done. Any Advice?
