Winterizing the System
You must use an approved, nontoxic antifreeze in
your boat’s fresh water system. Refer to the SeaLand
Technical Bulletin at the end of this section for
information on the proper type of antifreeze to use.
Using the wrong type of antifreeze can damage the
fresh water system. The repair of such damage is not
included under the terms of either the Carver Limited
Warranty or the fresh water system OEM’s warranty.
1. Pour 15 gallons of nontoxic recreational vehicle
antifreeze into your boat's fresh water tanks. The
fresh water tanks are filled through a single deck
fitting with a plate labeled "WATER". The plate is
on the starboard sidedeck forward of the dinette.
Refer to the "Deck Plates" portion of Section 9 for
the location of this plate.
2. Close all faucets.
