[Public-list] Winterizing Boat - What do we all need to Do??

[Jack Vanderloo]

John,

Good overview, but from bitter experience (at least up here where -30C 
is not uncommon), the instructions for winterizing the head are somewhat 
sparse.  There is only one specific way to carry out this task.

 From outside, run a PVC hose from the anti-freeze container directly 
into the intake thru'hull, making sure that the hose seats well 
(tightly) in the fitting.  Make sure all internal valves are set either 
for overboard or holding tank discharge. Throw the lever on the pump 
pedestal to pump raw seawater (i.e. anti-freeze) until the bowl is good 
and full.  Then throw the lever to whatever position flushes the bowl.  
Pump away.  Overboard dischargers should see the results outside, while 
holding tank owners will see the antifreeze collected in the tank.  Job 
done!

FWIW.

Cheers
