Update Well I let the Marine-Tex setup good and gave it a paint job, my son and I yesterday got it all back together. Hooked up the water muffs and started it up. And no leaks we run it for awhile up to temp no leaks!! Also wanted to run the Sta-Bil though the system. I pulled all 5 blue plugs and drained the water out, now what else should I do to winterize it? Add anti-freeze to engine or should it be ok just draining at the blue plugs? Thanks for the tips on repairing the block!!  Lew

Be on the safe side & run a couple gallons of no-tox antifreeze thru it.

One good thing to remember . If the crack isn't so big that the part will fall out there is plenty of water in the lake to refill the block until you get back to shore. Make sure your bilge pump is in good shape and carry a five gallon bucket in the boat just for a back up . Good luck

The previous owner ran it with the cracked block leaking, he just installed a larger bilge pump to remove the leaking water. If the Marine-Tex is as good as they say it is I should have no problem. L&M I took your advice and ran some RV antifreeze though it, I even added some to the bilge pump Thanks for the tip
