I was talking to a friend about getting my Dominator winterized and it occured to me. How do I properly winterize the Sanger? I know you drain the block just like any other boat but what about the headers and getting anitfreeze back into the engine effectively?
What about winterizing the jet drive itself?
My Dominator has a LWP muff that you just hook to a hose,fire her up and let the impellar suck in the antifreeze froma 5 gallon bucket but that won't work on the jet boat.
How do you guys winterize them?
I can share what a friend of mine does with his, 5 gallon bucket of antifreeze, drop a bilge pump in it & run the bilge hose into the hose that feeds the engine, pump it through that way. Shuts the valve off that controls the header water , btw..... Don't take but a few minutes he said, to run it till you got antifreeze running out the overboard dump line....
Not sure about the pump itself though, never heard anything about that. :rollside:
He also unhooks the fitting on the headers wher the injection lines tie together & just lets them hang. They'll dry out on their own....
