Dave,
Brian did answer your question when he stated "Water left in low spots,
particularly the muffler."
Next time you have a chance to view the curvature of the hull and compare it to
the exhaust outlet, consider that there is a water lift muffler in between the
engine and the outlet. Yes th

The best way to winterize is drain the raw water side. Flushing antifreeze
through is good also. I would also flush with saltaway, or something similar
first. Let that sit for a few hours to overnight

I also recommend (versions of) this and your method.
I’ve put the raw water hose into my antifreeze and ran till it comes out

Hi Dave,
Your method saves buying chemicals, and saves poluting the environment, but the
old method of sticking the engine's water intake hose into a bucket of
antifreeze and running the engine until the pink stuff exits the exhaust is
slightly more thorough and less crawling around. Our muffle
I never pumped antifreeze through the seawater side of my 2gm20f, and did not
have a problem in 10 yrs of Toronto winters.I did drain the seawater side
by disconnecting the lower water pump hose, and draining the seawater strainer
and muffler.

I can't answer your question, but I also thought about that recently and I
realized that antifreeze is running around the head. While the block is
cold, the thermostat is closed, directing the antifreeze around the head.
Never had a problem but was curious about the water that might be remaining
