[C320-list] Engine Muffler Winterizing

[Warren Updike]

Amanda Lu, after wrestling with this for three years, I finally cut the hose
at a convenient place and inserted an automotive flush connection. You can
buy these at any auto store. It has a screw-on cap with the same threads as
a garden hose. I have a short section of hose I attach to this connection
and stick in a bucket of antifreeze (not the same stuff used for the potable
water system.)  It only takes about one minute of engine time for the bucket
to empty. I have someone outside to insure that the color is showing at the
exhaust. Makes the job a no-brainer.

Does anyone have any tips on winterizing the engine raw water muffler ? 
What about the exhaust lines ?  Raw water feed to the engine ?
Thanks in advance,
