First time doing this and no engine manual. Stabil in the fuel, fog the cylinders, a little oil in through the plug holes, got that no prob. The cooling system is what gets me. If I have pieced this together I have to :
1) Loosen petcock to partially drain adapter plate. (There's only one, it a 1994).
2) Remove drain hose from transom drain nipple.
3) Load system with anti freeze....
That's where I need help, does this have to be done from the flush fitting in the drive ( I don't have access to a flushing kit), or can I take off the water supply hose (on the engine side of the filter) and use something like a siphon pump (or a pump on a drill) to get antifreeze through the system?
