David,
Have you seen this:
http://forums.catalina.sailboatowners.com/showthread.php?t=136339? I know that
this is not a C&C, but winterisation is pretty much the same.
It still requires pulling the intake hose off the through-hull, though. But
mine is reasonably easy to take off.
I used this method (I even used the same Home Depot’s orange bucket (;-)) this
fall and it worked great. You can warm the engine on the hard without any
problem using water from a garden hose (it would additionally flush the raw
water system, as a bonus).
good luck
Marek (in Ottawa)
