[C320-list] Oil Change on the Hard

[Michael Rauh]

When I winterize my engine it drinks water at a fairly high rate.  A 5-gallon bucket might last about 2 minutes.

I suggest you have a water hose from your marina pumping fresh water into the bucket or connect the hose directly into the raw water intake hose. 

It probably won't matter if the oil is cold.
