Hi Edd,
         I find ONLY two drain cocks on the water pump body. Patrick has 
sent me pictures (off list) and they show the same--ie two drain cocks. 
I've poured a bit of antifreeze into the two chambers on the water pump and 
put out the word for 25 gallons of used antifreeze. I REALLY appreciate 
everyone's help on this matter!
         Dave
PS, Ran the Austral for about 3 hours today--sure love that sound!
PPS, Do you know the difference between a "drain" cock and a "pet" cock?
