I wanted to report back on my winterizing efforts last weekend.  I went ahead with my plan and purchased 15’ of 5/8” tygon tubing and a funnel.  I pushed that into the intake port on the outside of the hull and  then ran it up to the deck.  There I prefilled the tubuing iwth the funnel and then put the end into a bucket with 2 gallons of antifreeze.  I then started up the engine and watched as it sucked the antifeeze through the engine.  It leaked a bit around the intake port, but not enough to matter.  I am very happy with this procedure since I can do it myself and I am on deck throughout the entire process watching the engine temp and fluid levels and does not require me to add a T to the intake port.  
My only concern now is that some info I read indicated the muffler should be drained.  I have no idea how to do that.  I presume the muffler is the large black cylinder behind the engine.  I can see no drain port on any visible side.  Dave
