DF2.5 Winterization

[Cakess]

I have a fairly new small DF2.5 and I've read through the winterization sticky as well as searched around. It's not clear to me if there is any step necessary to flush the coolant system with antifreeze. Can anyone shed some light on this or link me to guides?

Thank you!

No need to flush with antifreeze. Leave the lower unit upright to ensure the water drains. If your storing the engine out side leave it vertical so rain/snow can’t accumulate in the prop area and possibly freezing and splitting the lower unit. I also change lower unit oil and engine oil so it’s sitting over winter with fresh clean oils.
