Default Winterize 500 efi

If anyone knows how many water drain plugs there are on each side of the block, would appreciate the input. In process of winterizing and would to ensure all the water is drained...


Thank you

It is a fountain, and I thought that might be it, do you disconnect the hose at the fitting or unscrew the fitting at the block?

THANK YOU

Unscrew the fitting at the hose. They use a 45 or 90 fitting to go from a modified block drain plug to the hose end fitting. Put one wrench on the 45 (or 90) to hold it in place and another wrench on the fitting on the hose. It is easiest to remove the battery (on a 27 or 29 Fever) first, so you have more room to work. Otherwise it is tight working space! Also, it is a good idea to loosen the end of the hose at the gauge while you have the other end open so you can drain all of the water out of the line!
