Pulling the boat out of its slip this weekend and will start the winterizing soon after. My question is what is the best way to winterize the water system?
On previous boats, I accomplished this by running the faucets until dry; then adding RV type of antifreeze, (and a little bit of water), until the liquid coming out of the faucets were the same color as the antifreeze. My 240 DA owner's manual suggests blowing out the water system with compressed air.
Which method do you use? If you "blow-out" with compressed air, from which point would you inject the air?
Moderators: After posting this thread, I realized it probably should belong in the "Winterizing" forum. Please move it as you see fit.
