I own a 1979 34 C&C which has an Atomic 4 engine.
I decided to winterize my boat myself this year
rather than hire someone to do it. I tried to
follow the instructions in the manual for
draining the engine and putting in plumber's
anti freeze. I did this by loosening the
intake water hose and running the motor until
the anti-freeze ran out of the water exhaust.
However, from what I read on the Net, it seems
that I should have run the engine until it was
warm so that the thermostat would open and then
the antifreeze would have been circulated
throughout the engine. Since I live in a harsh
climate where the temperature can get to -40
degress Celsius, I am concerned about my engine
freezing. The Atomic manual is completely silent
about running the engine until the T-stat opens.
 Also, I would like to know what other owners
of C&C's with Atomic 4 engines do when they
winterize in terms of taking out the batteries
or if they disconnect them etc. Also, what
else should be done to winterize my boat other
than following the Atomic 4 manual and the C&C
Owners's Manual. Do most owners "fog" the engine
by pouring oil into the carburetor. If so, do they use SAE HD 30 engine oil.
Any advice would be very helpful.
