I remove all six drains on each engine, reinstall and have 5 gallon bucket with hose attachment on bottom. short hose to outdrive muff. Run 5 gallons of pink in engine.
Drain the main water tank, drain water heater, add pink to water tank and run through water system.
Take hoses off a/c unit and blow out. I have a little bilge pump that I hook up and push pink back through the pump and strainer.
Push a hose up the generator pickup on bottom of boat, fill bucket with pink and run generator until it spits pink.
Drain holding tank
Drain Bilge
Two types of pink antifreeze. One is alcohol based and not good for engines
