Water systems and A/C systems are done. Ran everything down, then blew out the main water line for dock water in. By-passed the water heater and blew it out, leaving valves open. Dumped 4 gallons of pink in tank and ran through as there was still water in the tank, Then dumped 4 more gallons in to strengthen the mixture and ran 1/2 through. A/C I shut seacock, disconnected the hose to pump and flushed with freshwater to get as much salt out of system. did it for 15 minutes. Then poured 6 gallons through. We had bright pink at gallon 3, but to me more is better to make sure all water was displaced. Used a drill pump to pump water into the outside pressure fitting in, and ran water again until pink came out. Then added some to toilets and flushed a couple times. Went and dumped 3 gallons in each holding tank, they were empty. Then ran Macerator in each position to draw pink through the lines and pump. (Yes, tanks was completely cleaned!) I didn't forget the stern shower this year either, got lucky last year, Lastly was pouring pink into the drains and shower sump drains, made sure shower pumps pumped 3 cycles through. Total used was 24 gallons. Engine oil next weekend and I MAY tackle the flushing and winterizing the genset with -100 red engine stuff.

Gonna cost you more in pink stuff than this years gas bill. 4 degrees C this morning, definitely thinking pink now.

LOL, Wih only 10 engine hours and 1.5 on genset, it was not the most stellar season for me. I was even thinking of not changing the genset oil this year due to such non use.
