its relatively easy with any bravo butt boat. Loosen one hose clamp at the transom plate. Pull off the hose and hold it facing up. Pour antifreeze into the hose and crank the motor pulling the antifreeze thru the pump, oil cooler and exhaust.When pure pink runs out your exhaust, its done. Then, open the block drains,empty the block. Close em up again. Then just pull the t stat housing and pour in the AF until it fills the block. Total time should be about 10 minutes per motor.

Hint, if you plan on doing this often, replace the block drain plugs with brass radiator drain cocks. Shortens the time necessary and no tools needed after that to drain the block.

I had friend do the heater thing when he was going out of town and it was supposed to get cold. It got cold, heater quit/broke and he had a cracked block.

It's not a matter of being cheap here, it's a matter of using the boat every 3 weeks or so during the winter. I live in NC so weather is somewhat unpredicatable during the winter.

thanks for the responses guys, I think the leaving it in Florida idea is best, the drive for me is 5 hours so it would be worth it.

OH NC Yea just drop in a heater n u will be fine just watch the local temps
