On my C&C 35-1 I put in a T and another valve between the through hull and the raw water strainer, attached a hose the after the T and its valve and ran the 1" ID hose into the lowest point of the bilge. To winterize or use the engine as an emergency bilge pump I close the through hull valve and open the bilge valve and can pump water or a bilge full of RV potable water system anti-freeze through the whole raw water plumbing for the engine and of course out the exhaust. This is very handy for running the engine on dry land for maintenance or warm up prior to the spring launch.

Eventually it will overflow on the wrong side of the mixing elbow into the cylinder... leading to catastrophic consequences. If my understanding is correct, the situation would be the same for a fresh or raw water cooled engine. I think it is just much easier to rely on the raw water pump to determine the water flow using the bucket trick. I need the bucket setup in any case for feeding antifreeze, so I simply put the hose in the bucket for running the engine. Now this is all theoretical knowledge I got from books and forums. When I changed my impeller this fall, I noticed that the little chambers formed by the vanes never overlap both the input and output openings at the same time. This implies that the fresh water pump will limit the flow of water pushed into the engine, no matter the flow of water that the hose is set to deliver... Unless the hose pressure is high enough to bypass the vanes. Or if the y-valve is installed after the raw water pump (which would be a very bad idea since the pump would run dry).

Take a newspaper and place it so that the top of the paper is directly under the oil filter and fold it a little until the bottom of the paper has been placed in a container (1 quart ice cream works great)..at about a 45 deg. angle. The idea is that as you unscrew the oil filter, the oil will drop to the paper and run directly into the plastic container and not all over the engine and engine compartment. When you have removed the filter from the engine, slide it down the paper as well to the container. Dump oil from the filter into the container and then the old oil to your larger recycle oil container. Bob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S.
