washdown pump, will not remove the water

from the pump. Remove the outlet hose on

the pump, turn it on and allow it to pump out

any remaining water, approximately a cupful.

An alternate method is to use commercially

available nontoxic, potable water system

antifreeze. If 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, discharge fit-

tings and drains. Make sure antifreeze has

flowed through all of the raw water drains.

Run the stern fishbox macerator pump until

all the water is removed from the fishbox

and the pump. To avoid damage to the

pump, DO NOT run pump dry for more than

ten seconds.

Generator Raw Water Systems

Drain sea strainer, heat exchangers and raw

water supply and discharge lines for the

optional generator raw water supply pumps.

Make sure all sea water has drained from

the exhaust system. Some generator engine

mufflers have a drain plug that must be

removed to properly drain the muffler. Once

this is accomplished, pour a nontoxic marine

engine antifreeze mixture into a large pail

and put the generator raw water intake lines

into the solution. Run the generator until the

antifreeze solution is visible at the exhaust

port, then shut the engine off.

Winterize the generator engine and fuel sys-

tem by following the generator manufac-

turer’s winterizing procedures. Refer to

generator’s owner’s manuals or contact a

Pursuit dealer.

Marine Toilet

Winterize the marine toilet following the

manufacturer’s winterizing procedures; fol-

low the procedures exactly. Refer to the toi-

let owner’s manual. Drain the intake and

discharge hoses completely using low air

pressure if necessary. The head holding

tank and macerator discharge pump must

be pumped dry and one gallon of potable

water antifreeze poured into the tank

through the deck waste pumpout 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 dis-

charge thru-hull.

Air Conditioner

Disconnect and drain the air conditioner

intake and discharge hoses. Remove all

water from the sea strainer and thru-hull fit-

ting. Allow all water to drain from the system.

An alternate method is the use of commer-

cially available nontoxic, potable water sys-

tem antifreeze. If antifreeze is used, drain

the sea strainer and pour the mixture into a

pail and put the raw water intake line into the

solution. Run the air conditioner until the

antifreeze solution is visible at the discharge

fitting on the hull side.

Air conditioner components must be winter-

ized also; follow winterizing procedure in the

air conditioner owner’s manual.

The air conditioning, engine control system,

head, and steering systems have specific

lay-up requirements. Refer to the owner’s

manuals for recommended winterizing pro-

cedures.

Bilge

Coat all metal components, wire busses,

connector plugs (in the bilge), all strainers,

seacocks and steering components with a

protecting oil. The bilge pumps and bilge

pump lines must be completely free of water

and dried out when the boat is laid up for the

winter in climates where freezing occurs.

Compartments in the bilge that will not drain

completely should be pumped out and then

sponged until completely free of water. Dry

the hull bilge and self-bailing cockpit

troughs. Water freezing in these areas could

cause damage.

Hardtop

Makes sure all drain holes in the legs are

open and legs are completely free of water.

Remove the canvas and thoroughly clean
