The hose connection is right next to the jet pump nozzel just to the side of it. It is a round tube with threads inside to screw a garden hose into.
It is where the water exits the boat from the engine.

To winterize a 787, you remove the hose that comes from the jet pump to the back of the head, then pour the antifreeze into the fitting so it goes into both the head and the exhaust pipe. You must pinch off the line that goes out the back to the fitting you used to flush the motor and also the clyinder drain hose so that the anti freeze stays in the motor.
