De-Winterizing: Fresh Water Tank
I've never winterized, but this boat I just got had been winterized because there was pink coming out. How many times to you need to fill and empty the fresh water tank? Someone told me to put a bottle of alchohol in the tank instead of bleach or something......so far, I've only filled it 1 time and just haven't used it but to wash my hands.
:confused: |
I flush mine out once then fill it half way and ad a gal. bleach, drive it some flush that out then fill it and use it. But I never drink it.
|
Rinse it out with bleach and water solution, (or use sodium hypochlorite, same as liquid pool chlorine)
Then fill it with Cuervo.......:) |
It is non toxic but tastes like crap. The bleach will help but it is hard to get rid of all the taste. if it will never be winterized again I would replace it. Lets see pics of this boat I keep hearing about.
|
My suggestion is for you to spray it all over your lawn. It really makes it grow! :D
|
Wow Nort, I just saw the pictures. It would be hard and expensive to replace that tank. It will come clean some how.
|
My friend's suggestion of adding alcohol to it is that it would sanitize the system, but would evaporate fairly quickly afterwards......
Mitch...thanks! Yeah, replacing that tank is not an option. :D |
1- Fill the take with water
2- Run the water out until no more pink is coming out 3- Put bleach and lime juice together and fill tank with water 4- Turn faucet on and keep filling water tank 5- Do this until you don't smell bleach and lime juice 6- Let the tank run dry and fill it up with fresh water |
buca knows best!!!;)

and i thought lucy would say... take your boat to florida and avoid the whole practise.
