3500 exp. Antifreeze? - giff1 - 09-06-2022
I have a new to me 3500 express with 450 cummings 8.3 CTAs.
How much antifreeze per engine to winterize.
I will be adding the antifreeze through the sea strainers. I can't find the muffler drain plug, so I need to let the muffler fill with antifreeze too. I will be doing it in the water and the previous owner has run the exhaust hoses from the mufflers straight to the underwater exhaust. Thanks

I have a 2003 38 Open with the same engines (6CTA 8.3) and have been winterizing them for 15 years, with the boat staying in the water for the winter.. I run 6 gallons of Non-Tox antifreeze through each engine using the raw water strainers as well.. Works for me. May be over kill but better safe than sorry. M2C

Anyone else know how much antifreeze for a 3500 express with Cummins.
The Mufflers look big, will 8 gallons per engine be enough?

I have a 3200 w/cummins 5.9 that i use 6 gal each engine. That has worked for me
