So first of all, my setup is like this: single AC unit underneath the v-berth. The water comes in through a pickup in the stern, into a strainer, then is pumped forward to the unit, and out a thru-hull in the bow.
To winterize, I was planning to use the AC pump to send AF forwards until I see it running out of the bow.
But I've seen a few videos/posts where it seems like most people do the opposite: add AF to the thru-hull in the bow and let it run aft through the hose, then pump, then strainer and out the hull by the bilge area.
Any good reasons why one method is better than the other?
Thanks!
