winterizing

[pedromerk]

I have never had a boat with the city water hook up. What is the procedure for winterizing the section of hose from the outside hookup to the pressurized line, thanks, Pedro

Pedro, in your engine compartment against the firewall you should see where your water hoses are routed to the galley, there should be compression fittings connecting the hoses, undo these conections and allow the water to drain into the bilge, if you can attach a air pump it will also clear your lines and just reconnect fittings, I do not know the year of your vessel but should not differ. (if your boat is on a trailer and is slightly angled with the bow up lines will drain themselves.)  Good luck.
