3. On the DC Control Center, switch the Pressure Water Pump circuit
breaker “ON.”
4. If your boat does not have the optional grey water holding system,
place a large bucket under the thru-hull fitting for the sump dis-
charge. This catches the antifreeze pumped out in the next step.
Refer to 9.7.3 Thru-Hull Fittings for the exact location of this
discharge fitting.
5. Open the galley sink cold water faucet. When a steady stream of
antifreeze flows from the tap, close the faucet. Repeat this step for
the galley hot water faucet, then for each cold and hot water faucet
on the boat, except for the transom hand shower and bow and tran-
som 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 anti-
freeze, which can be reused.
c. Open the washdown faucets. When a steady stream of antifreeze
flows from the fittings, close the faucets.
6. Activate the windshield washers until antifreeze flows from them.
7. If your boat does not have the optional grey water holding system,
pour one quart of the antifreeze into each shower and sink drain.
Otherwise, refer to 8.3.9 Grey Water Holding System to winterize
the shower and sink drains.
8.3.5.3 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.
8.3.6 Raw Water Washdowns
Before performing this procedure on the optional bow and transom raw
water washdowns, your boat should be pulled from the water.
