Volvo 5.7 GI-F Winterization

[mrwhite 0]

Hello fellow boaters! I am in need of a engine manual or the proper manual for winterizing a 2006 234FS. I can not download the manual posted by The Most for some reason. I want to know the points of interest for winterizing this engine. I can not seem to find the pet cocks to actually drain the motor or an easier way to do it. The motor sits so far into the bay I can not get the bottom of the it. Thanks in advance for any help guys! Paul

You will need your engine model and serial number for faster service.

I called them and now I have to call a local dealer. Anyone know where the release valves are on the motor?

brass plugs on back of each exhaust manifold, brass pitcock or plug on side of engine block, pull of hose on water pump. you could always pull water intake hose off and use a garden hose with a hose clamp and a 5 gallon bucket of -100 antifreze and run engine then fog and shut off engine should be up to temp to make sure thermostat is open. it is best to drain engine before doing this but people do do with out draing but use -100 anifreze good luck
