Coolant Capacity
I read the operation and maintenance manual, but it talks more about how to flush the system, than it does about what product to use, or how much goes into the system.

Re: Coolant Capacity
Not sure what it holds from completely empty. Use 50/50 mix and fill it up. I use Dex Cool, but you can use the green stuff if you want.

The boat was shipped from Kentucky to Mi. I don't exactly know why they winterized the way they did, but they pulled the block drains, all exh manifold drains, muffler drains, etc. and filled all of the stainers with anti-freeze. It only took about a gallon and a half to fill it up the motor and reservoir. They didn't disconnect any hoses. I'm guessing the rest of the system was fairly full, aside from the block and reservoir. Kind of shocked they don't tell you approximately how much fluid the system holds in the owners manual.
