FRESH-WATER COOLED MODELS
IMPORTANT: The fresh-water section of the cooling
system must be kept fi lled year around with
recommended coolant. Make certain that the cooling
system is protected with an ethylene glycol antifreeze
mixture properly mixed to protect the engine to the
lowest temperature that it will be exposed to.
See DRAINING FRESH-WATER COOLING SYSTEM
in ENGINE MAINTENANCE section for draining and
refi lling procedures of FWC system, if required.
IMPORTANT: Drain sea-water section of the cooling
system only. See Water Flow Diagrams in the back of
this manual to illustrate the drain locations.
1. Remove all the drain plugs from the following
locations:
• Heat Exchanger - one on outboard side
• Exhaust Manifolds - remove hoses and/or
drain plugs, one on each side
• Engine Cooler - one drain plug
2. Remove the hose from the inlet side of the sea-
water pump.
3. 6.0L ONLY - Remove the hose from the outlet
side of the sea-water pump.
4. Crank the engine over once to purge any trapped
water in the sea-water pump. DO NOT allow the
engine to start.
4. After the water has completely drained, coat the
threads of drain plugs with PerfectSeal, or
(equivalent), and reinstall in the proper locations.
Reinstall the hoses and tighten all the clamps
securely.
After draining is completed, perform the additional
required maintenance as outlined in the MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE under ONCE EACH YEAR.
