Almost Over
Friday was the day that I decided to winterize those things i do myself on my Carver. I ran all the water out of the onboard water tanks and then I drained the water heater. Then I used my small air compressor to blow out the water lines. After that I put in 15 gallons of -50* pink stuff. Running the pump again I ran the pink stuff through all the water lines. Task one was complete.
Then I disconnected the water line to the head from the seacock. Getting another gallon of the pink stuff I hit the switch and ran that through the toilet and into the holding tank. Task two was complete.
Next I put 1/2 gallon of the pink stuff through the shower sump. Task three completed.
That is pretty much the things I do. I will let the marina mechanic winterize the engines and the A/C system. One other thing I did when I ran the pink stuff through the water lines was to fill a couple of the empty jugs with pink stuff. Then I poured that into the bilge and ran it through the bilge pumps to winterize them.
I plan to put in fuel stabilizer into each tank add about 45 gallons of fuel to each tank then take the boat out for one last little run the head to be hauled out on or about the 23rd. The 2020 season is over now thinking about 2021.
Oh yeah, I had a lot of fun aboard my jetski this season. Put 38.3 hours on the ski about 16 on the boat.The jetski was hauled and winterized and is now in winter storage waiting for spring 2021. I hope all of you had as great a season as I did all in all in spite of the situation we all faced.
Hoping 2021 will be better.

Re: Almost Over
Glad to hear you are out and the good news is we are going to have a heat wave for the next week or so with temps around room temperature during the day, late Indian summer! Probably warmer where you are by a few degrees. Nice winterizing weather for sure.
