Got it hooked up today, works like a charm November 17 2007 at 5:58 PM		(no login)
Response to I'm plumbing up a "quick winterization circuit" on my runabout

Sooo nice to be able to winterize in ten minutes. No more worry at night for the runabout. Got the system hooked up to a wide open inlet system, and a nice reduced line running aft for emergency bilge pump action. Throw the valves, drop the hose into a tub of 50/50 antifreeze mix and it sucks it right into the system nicely. I'm catching the fluid as it comes off the tail pipes so I can recirculate or even re-use it. No action on the water today, way too much work around the house, including the rebuilding of a Massey Ferguson 135 Carb, new plugs, general tune up, and pulling front wheels for new tires. Oh yeah, splitting a little firewood too. Paul
