I need to top off my anti-freeze for my engine. Hunter said to use dex cool 50/50. My boat has the pink anti-freeze. All I can find is green or orange. Who makes the the pink.

check out this Yanmar link
Never use water without antifreeze mixed. Apparently, Yanmar is recommending the silicate free (orange) mix these day. If you still want to use the pink stuff and have an RV store or marine store nearby, they all carry it. Don

no pink antifreeze!
I hoope you don't have the pink in your engine-it's not suitable for engine cooling systems, only freshwater and waste systems. if it's really pink, get back to your dealer asap and get it corrected. Hunter is now ecommending the orange silicate free af, specifically the havoline that Steve mentioned. However, you cannot mix the orange and green, the silicate in the green will cause the mix to gel. you need to repeatedly flush a green system to clean it out before installing the orange-if you have any doubts about what is in your engine, get it back to the dealer who filled it the first time.
