If I knew exactly what I was doing, I would but together a post / sticky with photos and step by step. Sorry, but I am just not interested in paying a dealer $285 to pull a couple plugs. All it takes is the know how, and a little mechanically inclined ability. I am going to be looking to get this completed this coming weekend. We'll see how it goes I guess. There should not be any reason to pour any antifreeze (to my knowledge) anywhere.
Crazy440 - The center ballast is a hard tank, unless you have an added ballast, but mine is just the stock one. I think (not positive), but if you look under your carpet, there are a couple access panels. One has a T handle tapered plug. This should be your center ballast plug. The only reason I know this is because I had to reinstall it in the spring.

I was lead to believe this drain (from my dealer upon purchase) was a secondary hull drain centered in the boat and the hard ballast tank is separate from this. Can someone from SC who usually follows this thread confirm this?

The brass T Handle is a hull drain, not a ballast tank drain.

Thanks for clearing this up. That said, is there a ballast drain for the hard tank? Or do you have to rely on the pump getting all of the water out?

I blew my lines out with a cprmressor then put 10 litres of antifreeze in the center tank through the hoses that attach to the IBS.

FYI... I just spoke with Indmar. The mystery hose that is supposed to come off the manifolds and connect with a T is not on some Moomba Indmar motors due to space limitations. He told me to remove the plug (gold hex head) in each manifold instead and remove the drain at the very bottom of the transmission. Sorry, no pictures yet, will try to get some later.

LOL. You "dealer" guys crack me up. If you choose to take it to a dealer every year and pay them to do this, have at it. Therefore, your comments are useless.
I, like many of us, choose to save the money and learn to do it. Many people on the site have very good information. Thanks to those who have had useful comments. Also, I came across this thread that has helped tremendously in the "how To Info" threads. Thanks everyone.
