interior of the engine filled with air and moisture, not the best
combination. Taking the side plate off in my case would be difficult.

When I bought Touche' in 1999, it had an AT4. It had the drain plug
extension. When I finally got it started, the drain plug extension
leaked. As I recall, it was corroded at the threads at the cap. When I
went to replace it, it fell apart. I think it's just a 1/8 or 1/4 pipe
nipple. Just som
I have the extension pipe installed between the distributor and the
alternator belt. There is just a cap on the end that I remove to drain
the block. It is easy. The two drain plugs on the block are simple to get
to. The drain plug on the bottom of the water pump is a bit fiddly to
start back in,

U have to drain the block. Side inspection plate will leak if you dont
drain it. Its fragile as it is. It doesnt take too much freezing to
develop leaks. Block drain plug is under distributor, just aft of side
inspection plate. It's pita. Moyer sells extention to make this easy.

My atomic 4 is raw water cooled, I have drained the engine and water pump
using the drain plugs and not used any antifreeze. That has worked in Toronto
for the last nine years.
I did experiment with a thin tube and suction pump the first year to see how
much water
was left in the block. I doubt i
This is how I do it with my diesel. Always on the hard. I warm up the engine
first, using fresh water into that bucket.

best would be to drain the muffler first, push the water out and drain it again?

I just disconnect the intake hose from the seacock and stick it into a
bottle of antifreeze. I'm running without thermostat however so it's
simple. If you're new with the A4 a great resource is moyer marine. The

You can plumb in auxiliary suctions that will let you draw glycol straight
out of the jug. If you haul the boat you can stuff a tygon hose up the
through hull and beer bong the glycol into the engine. Or you can try the

My first haul-out with my 30-1 (purchased in January) is coming up in a few
weeks, sadly. The PO advised me to just run antifreeze through the raw-water
cooling system until it comes out the exhaust. My main question is how to get
the antifreeze into the raw water intake. I've seen a gadget made
