This will be my first winterization effort. I have an 05 air nautique with the 375hp ZR6 engine. It also has a rear ballast. What are the steps to doing this to avoid damage? I have heard mixed reports on what is mandatory vs. recommended. I would rather be safe and do the very best for my boat...

Lot's of info available on winterizing if you do a search, one item which may not be covered however is draining the Pitots and removing the gateway box in the trunk. The pitots are supposed to be self draining however I can tell that is not always the case, remove the water lines from the gateway box to ensure they drain and it also is not a bad idea to remove the gateway and store in a dry warm place over the winter. Believe most or all the electrical connections are different/specific shapes.
Have never done anything beyond running the ballast pump both directions to purge water from my tank & lines, if you want additional reassurance I would just pour some RV A/F in the supply side before the pump while the pump was running. |

I have an 05 air and the ipod hook up is right in the Cd player compartment. For mine you need to buy and adaptor that goes into the headphone jack on the ipod then converts to the red and white stereo connectors. Change the cd player to aux mode and the tunes flow
