    Winterizing 450 pcm half system

    Okay... I think I've got everything taken care of for a hard winter but just hoping if I missed something that you guys will catch it. 1) Pulled off strainer and cleaned. 2) Pulled raw water plug and hose from heat exchanger 3) Drained both exhaust ports (plug), 4) Pulled hoses off from bottom of exhaust (both sides) near bottom of engine. 5) Pulled hose off of Transmission cooler and also removed drain plug from cooler. 6) Pulled outgoing hose off of water pump. 7) Drained the v-drive. 8) Took care of ballast bags and tank. 9) Pulled spark plugs, fogged and turned flywheel over a few times then put spark plugs back in. Then I vacuumed all the water out of the hull and cleaned it. Changed the oil before any of this was done. I went to blow out the heater line but antifreeze started pouring out... I'm hoping that my eyes weren't deceiving me because I didn't proceed to blow the line out ? I know that some of you pull the impeller out and store for the winter. I removed the batteries and will store those indoors, fully charged. If you guys can see that I missed anything please let me know.

    Heater is part of the closed cooling side of the system so yes you did see antifreeze.
