[C38] Engine winterization - 24 hp Universal Diesel - do it yourself?

[William Knowles]

Hi Marci, You should also change the oil and filter. I am not sure about
fogging a diesel,I have never done it, but it is easy to flush and add
antifreeze. Shut off your thru hull intake and disconnect the hose and
place in a bucket put your dockside water hose in the bucket with water
flowing and start the engine. Flush the engine for about five minutes, shut
off hose and add anti freeze to bucket (don't let the bucket run dry) when
pink water comes out exhaust you are done. Reconnect thru hull hoses double
clamp. If engine is warm enough change oil and filter.
