On some boats, it can be very difficult to reach the intake hose for the engine or to get it off the seacock. Secure the intake hose back on the seacock.For gasoline engines, fog the cylinders (see below), which should stop the engine.Start the engine and run at idle until antifreeze discharges from the exhaust outlet for 30 seconds or more.Remove the raw water intake hose from the seacock (this is sometimes difficult, as hose clamps and hoses may be mechanically frozen in place) and insert the end into the antifreeze in the bucket.You can use any leftovers in the boat's plumbing systems. Have additional antifreeze handy if you know your boat takes more than that or if you've never winterized before.
