 Topic: Fake lake alternativePosted: August-22-2015 at 2:29pm |

Thanks to all that helped me with the impeller change, it was very easy! So now that I have done that, I want to assure there were no other issues before the painful tow to the lake with the family. Is there an easy way to run water through the boat so I can run it and make sure it doesn't overheat? I don't have fake lake and don't want to run it dry..??

Search this site for winterization process and it will show how to run anti freeze out of a 5 gallon bucket. Simply omit the af and keep the hose running into the bucket. I would suggest using a clear hose from the bucket to your inlet line.

Question alone the same lines as the OP.
My SN has a Perko Pro fresh water flush kit installed. Could I use this instead of Fake a Lake (see attached picture)? Likewise for winterization could I not also feed anti-freeze in through the Perko Pro device? Thank you advance.

I hope it stays in one piece. Perko has supposedly improved them but they have been know to break! For simplicity, ruggedness and a device that works, I'd go for the one and only Timmy T!!  As for sucking in the antifreeze, I go with the pour in method as many do and also the suggested method by PCM!!! No buckets. No hoses, No mess. Uses less antifreeze too! |

I am sure you are trying to be funny but I have no idea what this means - "I'd go for the one and only Timmy T!!" Again if the Perko does not blow the entire boat up can it be used in place of fake a lake? Thank you

I'm not trying to be funny at all. The timmy t is simply a hose connection method that one of our oldest respected members came up with. A quick search and I found this thread. It couldn't be simpler nor will it break. |
