If the boat hasn't run for a while, I'm in the habit of a few short stabs on the starter with the STOP switch engaged. Actually learned that trick on Yanmar course years ago. The idea is to 'wet the engine in an oil bath before starting.
My question in in winter when the engine is winterized and thru hull SHUT tight. If I hit the starter and stop as above, will water move and dry the impeller. Will winterizing anti-freeze be all expelled overboard?
