13.2 Winterizing

Freshwater System

The entire freshwater system must be completely drained. Disconnect all hoses, check valves,

etc. and blow all the water from the system. Make sure the hot water heater and freshwater tank

are completely drained. Use only very low air pressure when doing this to prevent possible

system damage. Because of the check valve mechanism built in the pump, blowing the lines will

not remove the water from the freshwater pump. Remove the inlet and outlet hoses on the pump.

Turn the pump on and allow it to pump out any remaining water....about a cupful. A

recommended alternative to the above-mentioned procedure is the use of commercially available

non toxic, freshwater system antifreeze. After draining the potable water tank and lines, pour the

antifreeze mixture into the freshwater tank, prime and operate the pump until the mixture flows

from all freshwater faucets. Be sure to open all water faucets, including the freshwater spray head

in the stern bait station sink. Make sure antifreeze has flowed through all of the freshwater drains.

Refer to the Freshwater System chapter for additional information on the freshwater system.

Raw Water System

Completely drain the raw water systems. Disconnect all hoses and blow the water from the

system. Use only very low air pressure when doing this to prevent possible system damage.

Because of the check valve mechanism built in the raw water washdown and livewell pumps,

blowing the lines will not remove the water from that raw water pump. Remove the inlet and

outlet hoses on the pumps. Turn each pump on and allow it to pump out any remaining

water....about a cupful. A recommended alternative to the above-mentioned procedure is the use

of commercially available nontoxic, potable water system antifreeze. If potable water antifreeze

is used, pour the mixture into a pail and put the raw water intake lines into the solution. Run the

pumps one at a time until the antifreeze solution is visible at all raw water faucets and discharge

fittings and drains. Be sure antifreeze has flowed through all of the raw water drains.

Portable Head

The portable head must be properly winterized by following the manufacturer’s winterizing

instructions in the portable head owner’s manual.

Marine Toilet

The marine toilet must be properly winterized by following the manufacturer’s winterizing

instructions in the marine toilet owner’s manual. Drain the intake and discharge hoses

completely using low air pressure if necessary. The head holding tank and optional macerator

discharge pump must be pumped dry and one gallon of potable water antifreeze poured into the

tank through the deck waste pump out fitting. After the antifreeze has been added to the holding

tank, open the overboard discharge valve and activate the macerator pump until the antifreeze

solution is visible at the discharge thru-hull.

Note: Make sure you follow the marine toilet manufacturer's winterizing instructions

exactly.
