Coolant reservoir is mounted on top of engine. I don't recall ever having an issue purging system of air.

I was thinking of setting up a pumped system to draw the coolant out and store it while engines are out. Unless it needs changing of course...but at least something that is simple, and avoids the bilge mess.

Probably a Tee and a ball valve to a guick connecter.
More work to remove engines, because of the extra hoses between engine and heat exchangers.

Yes - it’s looked like that for years. Luckily it’s a braided line so I’ll pray it lasts another couple seasons……
