This is to give general guidelines for the winterization of inboard engines that do not have internal heat exchanger type cooling systems. Variations will become evident in different brands of engines, however the principals will be

1 pkg real cream cheese, softened

1 pkg crumbled Feta Cheese, I prefer a seasoned feta like Atheno's Tomato Basil or Mediterranean

green onions, finely sliced

Black or Klamata olives, sliced

1 garlic clove, chopped or garlic powder

Mix softened cream cheese, feta, half of the green onions and garlic together in a bowl or food processor. Scoop onto plastic wrap. Wrap cheese mixture in plastic wrap to help form a ball. Let sit in the fridge until hard- approx. 30 minutes. Remove plastic wrap and garnish with remaining green onions and black olives by pressing the onions and olives into the cheese.

Serve with toasted Pita or pita chips. I generally eye this recipe. It's super easy. It is very versatile. Anything can be added to it.

If you are in an area where you need to winterize the systems on your boat, it is important that you select the proper antifreeze. For the internal water on your fresh-water-cooled engine, use ethylene glycol. This comes in many brands and has additives to reduce corrosion, lubricate pumps and enhance heat transfer, among
