boat, except for the transom hand shower and bow and transom fresh
water washdowns.
For the transom hand shower, place the shower head in a bucket before
turning on the shower faucet. This catches the antifreeze, which can be
reused. Proceed as described earlier in this step.
For the bow and transom fresh water washdowns:
a. Remove the hose(s) from the fresh water washdown fittings.
b. Place a bucket under the washdown fittings to catch the antifreeze,
which can be reused.
c. Open the washdown faucets. When a steady stream of antifreeze
flows from the fittings, close the faucets.
6. If your boat does not have the optional grey water holding system, pour
one quart of antifreeze into each shower and sink drain. Otherwise,
refer to “Grey Water Holding System” later in this section to winter-
ize the shower and sink drains.
8.3.4.3 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 tanks more than once to flush the system.
8.3.5 Raw Water Washdowns
Before performing this procedure on the optional bow and transom raw
water washdowns, your boat should be pulled from the water.
Refer to the “Raw Water Washdowns” portion of Section 4 for a descrip-
tion 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
