Hello, I just purchased this boat and planning to winterize it. I an not familiar with the water system and want to make sure I a properly draining the motor. I can find one "blue" drain plug at the front to the right of the motor. All hoses seem to tie into this drain plug. There is also a long rod that has drain water on it at the top next to the oil filter. I could not find any other drain plug on the block or in the manifolds. Is this single blue drain plug empty the entire cooling system? I removed the upper hoses, pored marine AF in and it came out of the bottom drain plug.

Thanks in advance for your help. I am happy with my Chaparral purchase and look forward to getting it on the water next season for the first time. South Jersey waters. This is my first Chaparral boat.
