I was lucky enough to get this boat and i am debating winterizing it myself....do i need to run antifreeze through it or do i just remove the drain plugs...keep in mind where it is being stored it can go down to minus 40 ------------- skiguy |

Good grief, that is cold. There is a good winterization checklist on my http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27356&title=ccf-faq" rel="nofollow - FAQ forum.

A drain only has been done for years and in fact some still do it. The antifreeze is sort of an insurance policy just to make sure there isn't any water left in the engine. If you do want to use the antifreeze, the best method is to drain and pour. Even though some do the "run it through" the engine method, I don't recommend it. Take a look at the layup instructions in the manual. If you don't have one, you will find one in the reference section. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
