Winterization: What's wrong with this picture

[SGY]

Before I bought my 206, the seller (JJ--great guy) was good enough to have the CC dealer in KC winterize the boat. It looks to me like they filled the block and accessories with antifreeze and left it in. (I can see the pink stuff in the strainer.)

I've had the boat since the day after Thanksgiving. It hasn't been run by me yet. It's been in a heated garage since day one--minus a few days (5 or 6) it sat outside until I could get it stored. I went today to put a few things in the boat and noticed in the bilge some water/antifreeze mix. Not alot, maybe a cup or two. I can't imagine a problem with freezing since I know it has antifreeze. My question is could this be from when the boat was winterized--ie left over in a corner of the bilge or boat bottom from a possible spill? I would think it would have evaporated by now--or does antifreeze slow or prevent evaporation. Could I have a leak somewhere? Should I panic and throw myself under a bus? I'm sort of puzzled.

don't panic. rub your hand around the bottom of the exhaust manifolds, raw water pump, tranny cooler, ect.

see if you find a wet spot.

a hose or drain might be letting a drop out every 24 hours.

i would drain the stainer. most antifreeze has a ph pf 10 which makes plastic brittle over time.

got to agree with tryan. Definately drain the strainer bowl.
