7. 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 Washdowns
Before performing this procedure on the optional bow and transom raw
water washdowns, your boat should be pulled from the water.
Refer to Section 4 - Raw Water Washdowns 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 Marquis Limited Warranty.
3. Place the disconnected hose end into a bucket that contains about
a gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle antifreeze.
4. Connect short hoses to the bow and transom raw water washdown
fittings and open valves.
5. Place a bucket under the hoses to catch the antifreeze, which can
be reused.
6. Verify DC power is present.
7. On the DC Control Panel-Engine Room, switch the Washdown
Pump circuit breaker ON.
8. When a steady stream of antifreeze flows from the washdown
fittings, switch the Washdown Pump circuit breaker OFF.
9. Disconnect the hoses to the washdown fittings and close valves.
10. Reconnect the hose that was disconnected in Step 2.

Refer to Section 4 - Bilge System for a description of your boat’s bilge
system.
