    Hello, my carver is out of the water and I need to remove the water from the engines and fill the with coolant. I have 2 crusader 220. Where are the drain plugs located? Running low on time I live in WI and is getting cold! Pictures would be greatly appreciated as I'm not mechanically inclined.

    I don't have pictures but if this is your first winter, Can the yard do it for you? At the last minute is a poor time to learn. Freeze protection is nothing you want to guess at.

    It's in my driveway so the yard cannot help. Agreed nothing I want to guess at. That's why I'm posting here. Just bought the boat for a good price end of season, engines run flawlessly but needs electrical done so I brought it home to work on throughout the winter

    Then find a dealer or find a manual on line.
    If your worried, put some 60W trouble lights in the bilge to keep things toasty.
    Blue tape the vents. This will buy you some time till you can drain all well.

    I'm in N/E Florida. We dodge the volcanoes, sink holes, tornadoes, hurricanes, sharks and alligators.
    Hording university spring break swarms are a challenge and the I 75/95 snowbird traffic.

    We live in such hard times, and you kids in Wisconsin just have the cold.
    Deal with that and stay safe.

    Are they fresh water cooled(heat exchangers) or raw water cooled?
