GENERAL MAINTENANCE
4.
Be sure all the water is completely drained from the
fresh water system.   Disconnect all  hoses, check
valves, etc. and blow all the water from the system
using very low air  pressure.  The use of nontoxic,
fresh water system antifreeze is recommended as
an alternative to disassembling  the water system.
Refer to  Section J-6 System  Maintenance in  this
manual for information on winterizing the water sys-
tem.

odorizer (e.g., Lysol  Liquid™).  Add more water if
necessary. Have the cleaning solution pumped out.
5.
Winterize the head as recommended  by the head
manufacturer. If the boat is equipped with a holding
tank, mix some antifreeze solution and pour it into
the head.   Transfer some of  the antifreeze to the
holding tank  by flushing  the head.   Also, refer to
Section  J-6 System  Maintenance  for  additional
information.
Have the fuel tank either full  or completely empty.
See  the  Engine   Owner's   manual  for   recom-
mendations.  Also, check with the dry dock opera-
tors for recommendations.  If  winter storing with a
full fuel tank,  gasoline winterizer such as Sta-bil®
Fuel Conditioner will reduce varnishing, condensa-
tion, etc.
