My 1980 version has a 2QM15. Raw water cooled. The GM’s came later.

Thanks Rick - good to hear some AF will get in even if thermostat isn't
open. My mechanic is the one who recommended the technique I've used. He
told me to pour the AF in until I smelled it out of the exhaust after
warming up the engine.
I'm 100% positive the engine is a Y2QM20H although not pos
The pink RV style antifreeze does freeze solid though it is suppose to not

to break copper pipes at least down to the rated temperature. It may break
plastic before

He is another variation - I have a fixed babystay. My bowlines were always
getting hung up. I made a 3 foot strop from 1/4 inch Dyneema, tied a

Something not mentioned yet: the RV community uses a water heater bypass kit so
you don't fill up your water heater with plumbing antifreeze. You simply drain
it. Works great!

Soft shackles are a great idea and like Chuck says, a good winter diversion
project. What length shackle are you guys using? My instinct would be 8 inches
from loop to knot but shorter is better, would 6 inches work? I will use 3/8

When my A4 was RWC, I put a hose on the exhaust and ran it into the same bucket
the intake hose was in. I had about 3 gallons of antifreeze going around and

Thanks Rick, that's a relief to hear. I've been worried that I didn't let my A4
warm up enough to open the thermostat before sucking anti-freeze through it. I
did run about five gallons of fresh water through it before two gallons of pink
anti-freeze, and I did confirm pink anti-freeze was comin
There is a bypass port in the thermostat housing that allows a limited amount
of water flow through the engine block and cylinder head prior to the
thermostat opening. This is to prevent getting localized hot spots while the
engine is warming up. So some of your antifreeze gets into the block so
Thanks Russ. Sounds like I'm over thinking it and things will be fine. I'm
pretty sure the Baileys won't freeze and will make a nice special coffee
when next I'm at the boat :)

The alpine butterfly or spliced eyes are the way to attach with a soft
shackle. The bulk of the knot and the lead angle of the tails on a bowline
cause it to hang but the eye splices or butterfly knot correct those
problems.

John,
Soft shackles are a piece of high modulus line with a bury splice at one end
and a crown knot on the other. The shackle is closed by slipping the eye over
the knot on the opposite end and pulling the splice closed by putting tension
on the shackle. A soft shackle must be run through the
OK so color me a bit skeptical, but how does one attach the sheets to the soft
