- Cummins QSC-500's
About a month to go. I have QSC-500’s. ive never winterized before. In the past I shrink wrapped in the water and just ran bilge heaters. This year I’m hauling for the winter. I’m thinking after haul out remove the zincs and let drain. Replace zincs. Open strainers and pour in antifreeze with engine running until it comes out the exhaust. Does that sound about right?
Also have both main strainer valves that won’t close completely. I figure I’ll have to remove and repair or replace those before winterizing. Alternative is to hire a guy and watch him then do it myself next year. I'm fine changing the oil and winterizing the fresh water system, just never done a diesel before.
