Winterization tool "Check this out"
 
3 Attachment(s)
Put this together this afternoon to winterize the Active Thunder. It helps circulate the antifreeze. Simply place the downward tubes into a bucket get a bilge or a water bed pump, pump the antifreeze from the bucket to the outdrive using a set of ear muffs. It just makes the whole job alot cleaner and you don't waste as much!!

1. 10 foot section of pvc cut for your measurements
2. 2-90 elbows
3. 2- 3" into 4" plumbing grommet
4. Pvc glue P.S. STOLE IDEA FROM "MY32DOMINATOR"

Can you get the pipes in annodized colors? Maybe I could sell it as an accessory.

Here's the set up 32 Thunder is referring to. I it put together last year for winterizing the Dominator as drain plugs are a real B**** to get at. I used a 750 bilge pump for supply of straight antifreeze (not the pink stuff) to the drive "muffs".

It Works Awesome!!! :D
