Raw Water System

Completely drain the raw water systems. Disconnect all hoses

and blow the water from the system. Use only very low air

pressure when doing this to prevent possible system damage.

Because of the check valve mechanism built in the raw water

washdown and livewell pumps, blowing the lines will not re-

move the water from that raw water pump. Remove the outlet

hose on the pump. Turn the pump on and allow it to pump

out any remaining water....about a cupful. A recommended

alternative to the above-mentioned procedure is the use of com-

mercially available non toxic, potable water system antifreeze.

If potable water antifreeze is used, pour the mixture into a pail

and put the raw water intake lines into the solution. Run the

pumps one at a time until the antifreeze solution is visible at

all raw water faucets, discharge ﬁttings and drains. Be sure

antifreeze has ﬂowed through all of the raw water drains.

Engine and Generator Raw Water Systems

Drain all of the sea strainers, heat exchangers and raw water

supply and discharge lines for the engine and generator raw

water supply pumps. Make sure all seawater has drained from

the exhaust system. Some, but not all, engine mufﬂers could

have a drain plug that must be removed to properly drain the

mufﬂer. Once this is accomplished, pour a non toxic marine

engine antifreeze mixture into a large pail and put the engine

raw water intake lines into the solution. Run the engines one

at a time until the antifreeze solution is visible at the transom

exhaust port, then shut the engine off.

Note: Properly winterize the engines and fuel system by

following the engine manufacturer’s winterizing

procedures located in your engine owner’s manuals

or contact a Albemarle dealer.

Refer to the Raw Water System chapter for additional informa

tion on the raw water system.

Marine Toilet

The marine toilet must be properly winterized by following

the manufacturer’s winterizing instructions in the marine toilet

owner’s manual. Drain the intake and discharge hoses com

pletely using low air pressure if necessary. The head holding

tank and macerator discharge pump must be pumped dry and

three gallons of potable water antifreeze poured into the tank

through the deck waste pump out ﬁtting. After the antifreeze

has been added to the holding tank, open the overboard dis-

charge valve and activate the macerator pump until the anti-

freeze solution is visible at the discharge thru-hull.

Note: Make sure you follow the marine toilet manufac

turer’s winterizing instructions exactly.

Air Conditioners and Freezer

Disconnect and drain the seawater pump intakes and discharge

hoses. Remove all water from the sea strainers and thru-hull

ﬁttings. Allow all water to drain from the system. The air

conditioner and freezer components must be properly winter-

ized by following winterizing procedure in the manufacturer’s

owner’s manual.

The air conditioning and freezer drain sump system must be

properly winterized. Clean debris from the drain and sump

and ﬂush for several minutes with fresh clean water. After the

system is clean, pump the drain sump as dry as possible. Then

pour a potable water antifreeze mixture into each air condition

ing condensation pan until antifreeze has been pumped through

the entire system and out of the thru-hull. The optional ﬂy-

bridge air conditioner condensation pan drains to the ﬂybridge

deck drain system and does not drain to a sump system.

Note: The air conditioning, engine control system, head,

and steering systems have speciﬁc lay up require

ments. Please refer to their owner’s manuals for

recommended winterizing procedures.

Bilge

Coat all metal components, wire busses, and connector plugs

in the bilge with a protecting oil. It is also important to protect

all strainers, seacocks and steering components. The bilge

pumps and bilge pump lines must be completely free of water

and dried out when the boat is laid up for the winter in climates

where freezing occurs. Compartments in the bilge that will

not drain completely should be pumped out and then sponged

until completely free of water. Dry the hull bilge and self-

bailing cockpit troughs. Water freezing in these areas could

cause damage.

Half Tower

It is imperative that all drain holes in the legs are open and that

the legs are completely free of water. Remove the enclosure

and thoroughly clean and store in a safe, dry place. Remove

all electronics. Coat all wire connectors and bus bars in the

helm compartment with a protecting oil.

Clean the aluminum frame with soap and water and dry thor

oughly. Apply an aluminum metal protector to the entire frame

to reduce corrosion and pitting.

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE LEG DRAIN HOLES ARE

CLEAR WHEN THE BOAT IS LAID UP FOR THE

WINTER. WATER TRAPPED INSIDE THE HARDTOP

OR TOWER LEGS COULD FREEZE AND CAUSE THE

LEGS TO SPLIT.

Tuna Tower

It is imperative that all drain holes in the tower and hardtop legs

are open and completely free of water. Tower basket drains

should be checked and clear of debris. Remove the tower sun

shade, if installed, and belly band or removable cushions and

thoroughly clean and store in a safe, dry place. Remove all
