Winterizing question

Post by jnewell » Mon Dec 22, 2014 9:09 pm

Hi I have a quick question, we have a 1977 dc 35 and had it winterized by a couple of fellows that work at a marina, so I'm pretty confident about the engines plumbing etc. but I noticed that we don't have a drain plug on the bottom of the boat. How do we know if we got all of the water out of the bottom? I do know that they blew water out of the side holes where the bilges normally empty is there a procedure we need to do since there is no drain plug?
