[QUOTE="sl1000794, post: 340038, member: 6974"] Your outboard lower unit will drain all the water needed in the cooling system for freezeup every time just by being vertical. At the end of the season you should always pull the upper and lower plug on your lower unit to see if any water comes out. It is heavier than oil and will settle to the bottom of the lower unit. If it has mixed with water it will be white. If you have water in the lower unit you need check and replace leaking seals. Now squeeze 90 wt lubricant into the lower unit from the BOTTOM plug until it comes out clean from the top plug and you should be good to go! [/QUOTE]
