[quote N.E.T.O.]I would drain it. Both exhaust manifolds and both block plugs. Pain in the butt, but not worth the risk. If you have a Volvo you need to drain the impeller hoses also. I just replaced an impeller housing for my cousin this last spring on his Volvo after he drained the manifolds and block last fall...but didn't undo the seawater pump (impeller) hoses. $300 lesson.

It is a Volvo, the hoses are the easy part, it's the rear plugs that are a pain. I drain the hoses and remove the housing, vaseline the hose fittings and impeller before winter storage and reinstall. Love the boat but sometimes miss our old outboard, it was much easier.
