My 2008 290 Amberjack has a baitwell. The pump mounts directly to the seacock. Does anyone have any advice on the easiest way to winterize this? Thanks.
 
open the seacock and let drain downward
rig something up to pump it into the seacock
 
I have the same thing. Can I pour antifreeze into the strainer and pump it through to the baitwell? Not sure how accessible the strainer basket is.

This is how I do it on my 380 for the AC system.

After you run the antifreeze through, On the seacock, there is a small drain plug that you can remove to make sure it’s drained. I get very little out of mine
