Water pump is what I should have said instead of impeller. Bob

talking about the raw water intake for the engine water? Or something else?

Dave, that was probably me. I intercepted the hose running from the
thru-hull to the impellor and put a T connection in it. The connection was
purchased from an automotive supply store for radiator flushing (something like
this: PEAK Flush and Fill Kit). I keep the screw cap on all summer. For
winterizing, I close the seacock, replace the screw cap with a short piece of
hose (like this: short garden hose - Google Search), fill a bucket with
anti-freeze and put the other end of the hose into it. I've had to prime the
hose with anti-freeze to create suction, but the engine will drain the bucket
slowly, sucking it all in. Bob Mystic C&C35 mk I

where someone described converting the engine raw water seacock into a
Tee-fitting so that antifreeze could be run into the engine to winterize the
boat. This would allow the process without having to remove the hose from the
raw water strainer or the seacock. I can't find that email anywhere so I am
wondering if anyone has notes on how this was done. I presume you would use a
standard brass Tee fitting, adapters (all the ones I have found have female
threads so require an adapter to add to the seacock) and two shutoff levers,
one for each water path. Thanks- Dave
