Or have a very resourceful PO who plumbed in circuit with a valve and hose
connection that enables one to close off the the outside intake, connect hose
to outside water source, open the valve in the plumbed in circuit and run the
engine quite merrily in minutes.

Robert and Jonathon, and all,
Thanks for the tips; are there suggestions about best practices when
doing oil changes on the 34?

Mark:
If your boat in 'on the hard', you will need a few pieces of
hardware to do the job.....oil pump, garden hose, large bucket and a 10'
foot piece of the hose the same diameter as the hose that attaches to your
raw water pump.
Remove the hose on the inlet side of your water pump....attach the
10' piece to the water pump and place the other end in the bucket in the
cockpit and fill with water from the garden hose......start your engine
and let it run until the engine reaches normal operating temp......keep
the water level in the bucket so you are not sucking in air.
Shut engine down.....change the oil and filter.
Now empty water from the bucket and put your antifreeze in the
bucket......2 gallons will be more than enough.....start your engine and
run until you see antifreeze exiting from your exhaust.....shut engine
down.
Some people leave the 10' hose connected to the water pump all
winter....makes it easy in the Spring to start your engine before launch
to retrieve the antifreeze in the engine. Some disconnect it and
reconnect the raw water hose.
Hope this helps.

Hi List,
Short season for me this year, bought our C&C34 this spring and
did a lot
to bring her back to where she needs to be. But I'm late
winterizing the Diesel
engine and am looking for advice and tricks to speed me through
getting
this engine done.
Any Advice?
Thanks in advance,
