$50k to $150k boats......yeah $20 to $50 antifreeze is cheap and well worth it.
Also I learned freeze ratings are a bit misleading and you should understand what they mean. Worthy of a quick read.

So I hooked up the fake a lake on the intake and filled a bucket with antifreeze, but it doesn't seem to be drawing the antifreeze into the hose or engine. I don't want to keep it running and damage something.
Am I missing something?

Guessing you have an air bubble.
Ideally you would want to raise the bucket high enough to fill the hose and fake a lake plunger.
A fake a lake typically is fed via water pressure from a water source.
Assuming you have a open cooling system, if so.......
Pretty sure you want to hook the garden hose to your fake a lake and run engine until your thermostat opens, then you would put antifreeze through it.
I personally would pull the water intake hose and gravity feed the antifreeze through it as you run the engine......think of a giant beer bong.

I sit my antifreeze tank on top of my roller trash can so it it up high.

the thermostat lets coolant out of the motor. If you want to add plumbing antifreeze you have to drain the block first. All the new coolant will enter the block primarily thru the j tube and circ pump. You have to drain the block . I just did this and just stuck a 1 inch hose inside the hose running from the vdrive to the impeller into a plumbing antifreeze bucket and it took about 20 seconds to pull 5 gallons into the system.
