Hi David,
If you ran the engine long enough that the pink stuff ran out the exhaust, you shouldn't have to drain the muffler or strainer, you're done.

Subject: Re: Stus-List Winterizing
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
