Winterizing in NC
I winterize my bot even though it is in North Carolina waters. I leave it in the water year round. 2 years ago the haror froze over with a thin skim of ice and air temps have gotten down to 10 F degrees above zero. I empty my fresh water tank and pump the pink stuff through all the water lines. I put a little in each drain and then close the thru hull. I also pump some antifreeze through the raw water intake through the manifold and exhaust. I empty the strainer. I put some pink stuff in the holding tank also and pump it through the seawater intake to the head. I have winterized my boat every winter of the 13 years I have been here in NC. BTW I keep my boat in Washington, NC near Bath, NC. I hope to install air conditioning soon and will have one more item to winterize.
