so you fill the bucket with antifreeze and use a sump pump and pump the antifreeze using outdrive muffs through the seapump through the cooler and through the motor and out the exhaust and back into the bucket and run the pump continuous untill the antifreeze comes out undiluted wouldnt the antifreeze by pass the motor and straight out the exhaust if the thermostat is shut ? what about silent choice and antifreeze collection back into the bucket

God I love closed cooling. Best boating money ever spent. Harbor freight pump, Rubbermaid container, pump until it comes out of the exhaust, walk away.

that’s not the case on a closed loop antifreeze tank.

the best method is just run them up to full temp to be sure.

for normal exhaust you can use pvc pipes with rubber boots for collection. For silent choice just put the bucket underneath the drive. You’ll lose some but not much.
After antifreeze is heated and t stat is open. Fog engine again using antifreeze loop. Shut her down, change oil and you’re done.
