WINTERIZATION AND STORAGE SECTION 8
a. Remove the hose from the fresh water washdown fitting.
b. Place a bucket under the washdown fitting to catch the antifreeze,
which can be reused.
c. Open the washdown faucet. When a steady stream of antifreeze flows
from the fitting, close the faucet.
6. If your boat does not have the optional grey water holding system, pour
one quart of antifreeze into the shower and each sink drain. Otherwise, refer
to Section 8 - Grey Water Holding System to winterize the shower and
sink drains.
Preparing the System for Use Again
When you remove your boat from storage and prepare to use it again, flush the
entire fresh water system with fresh water. Nontoxic antifreeze is colored, so the
water system is adequately flushed when uncolored water flows from all of the
faucets and shower heads. You may need to fill the water tank more than once to
flush the system.
Raw Water Washdown
Before performing this procedure on the optional transom raw water washdown,
your boat should be pulled from the water.
Refer to Section 4 - Raw Water Washdown for a description of your boat’s raw
water washdown system.
1. Close the seacock that supplies the raw water washdown pump with seawater.
2. Disconnect the end of the hose that is attached to the washdown side of
the seacock.
You must use a nontoxic, non-alcohol, RV-type (pink) antifreeze in your
boat’s raw water washdown system. Using the wrong type of antifreeze
can damage the raw water washdown system. The repair of such
damage is not included under the terms of the Carver Limited Warranty.
3. Place the disconnected hose end into a bucket that contains about a gallon of
nontoxic recreational vehicle antifreeze.
4. Remove the hose from the transom raw water washdown fitting.
5. Place a bucket under the washdown fitting to catch the antifreeze, which can
be reused.
6. On the Safety Breaker Panel:
a. Turn the accessory battery master disconnect switch to the “ON” position.
b. Switch the Main - One circuit breaker “ON.”
7. On the DC Control Center:
a. Switch the Main circuit breaker “ON.”
b. Switch the Washdown Pump circuit breaker “ON.”
8. When a steady stream of antifreeze flows from the washdown fitting, switch
the Washdown Pump circuit breaker “OFF.”
9. Reconnect the hose to the washdown fitting.
10. Reconnect the hose that was disconnected in Step 2.
