This is my first attempt at winterizing my generator. None of the videos I've seen mention drain plugs. Are there any? If so where? It cant be as easy as "Just get 1 gallon of AF into the system (sea flush/strainer, pick up hose etc) and you're done" can it? Any tips or hacks would be greatly appreciated.
 
I run it on the garden hose for a bit to give it a rinse.
Then, swap to 3 or so gallon jug of pink while spraying fogging oil into the carb intake.
Honestly never looked for a drain..
13 years it’s been working fine.

Yes change the oil and add AF and thats pretty much it!

Thanks for the quick reply. Is yours a Westerbeke?
