winterize in water


rossny@mail.com
 

Hi all, the temperature is starting to go below freezing here in nyc. I bought 10 gallons of pink anti freeze from west marine to flush the seawater out of the engine and run thru the water heater and fresh water lines and pumps. I will also use some in the toilets and pour the rest in the bilge. This is my first time...am I missing anything???? Has Amel printed an official checklist in it's owners manual ? Any advice is welcome other than going south for the winter.
Thanks,
Ross

There are many posts on the subject for details.
Anchor wash
Cooling water for AC units
Fresh water tanks,
Water maker; don't forget the float tube for the flow gauge; colums, pre-fliters, lines
Generator cooling circuits
Are holding tanks empty?

Cold weather owners can probably add details.
