I have a relatively new 06 SANTE with a ZR6 and it is the closed loop type. Outside of non-engine related Winterizing (ballests, transmission. Etc) what engine-related Winterizing needs to be done?
Thanks

On my closed cooled 03, I have to drain the raw water cooled parts: waterpump, strainer, manifolds, heat exchanger, transmission cooler, and vdrive. You should also check the coolant. It should have dexcool in it, which can start to gel(forgot what causes it). I had a dealer do a coolant flush and fill it with fresh coolant when I bought the boat. My manual says the coolant should be changed every 5 years. -
I have a question regarding winterizing the XR550. I've looked over the water flow diagram in the PCM manual on what needs to be done. On the transmission and oil cooler it shows a fresh water drain plug. However I cannot find one. Where would they be or is pulling the hoses sufficient?Comment

Looking at the photo of the cooler on Nautique parts

It looks like the drain might be near the bottom of the photo at a 45 deg angle to the rest of the cooler. Hopefully someone with a newer boat could confirm this.Comment
