2012 260 SunDeck - Winterizing Fresh Water and Head?

OK. In that case, just pour another gallon of AF in the holding tank section and be done with it. Do a pump out (and flush) in the Spring. Unless you have easy access to the pump out facilities. You could use a shop vac, but that pretty much relegates the shop vac to not using it for anything else.

I'm not sure about that knob. But I think I would err on the side of caution and leave it closed. The tank already has (should) a vent line (small line hooked up in the rear of the potti) that is more than sufficient for pump-outs... Unless it's clogged. Check the thru-hull on the side of the boat.

Unless something's clogged, I'm not sure why the pump out didn't work (assuming the pump works properly). BUT... maybe there's not as much left in there as you think? I could imagine that there might be an inch or two left, but no more than that.

You could be right. I could not see the bottom of the holding tank and was not willing to stick my finger in there to see how deep it was :). I may just go get a gallon of the -100 degree AF and put it in for my ease of mind.

Thanks for the reply.
