Re: [OMC-Boats] RV Anti-Freeze for winterizing?

The manuals didn't show it because it was a dealer installed option. So not everyone has it. Way back in the mid sixties Tempo Products made a spring-loaded hose adapter that clamped around the water intake behind the propellor. Dealers usually just backed into a custom-built ramp filled with a couple feet of water, while others have use the garbage pail of 55-gal drum.

Now that my service manual finally arrived in the mail I can answer this question a bit differently. I was under the impression that everyone had the same hose port on their Sportsman 120. Apparently the hose port on my boat is home made because it's not shown in the manual. On page 1-2 Figure 1-1 #11 they show a Water Discharge (Above Water). On my boat that piece has a hose connection. When I want to run the boat out of water I hook up the house to that port. That's where I planned on putting the antifreeze in.

Where would you put the antifreeze in? I usually just open the petcock valves and drain the block, no water to freeze...

A neighbor suggested using RV Antifreeze for winterizing the block because it's the least expensive. Any thoughts?
