Winterization tool "Check this out"
 

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"

Re: Winterization tool "Check this out"
 

Didn't takes pictures of ear muffs or bucket didn't think you guys wanted to see pictures of a bucket or muffs well maybe muff!!

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

Cool but why even use antifreeze ?? Just get the water out , been doing it this way for years, never had a problem :drink:

Re: Winterization tool "Check this out"
 

I just put antifreeze in to be extra safe. Pat I'll trade you the blue prints for a new 37 :D :D :D

Re: Winterization tool "Check this out"
 

That is already patteneted.

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

Cool Idea! :cool:

When you drain a block dry it will rust internally

Re: Winterization tool "Check this out"
 

This is true...fill that mill up with the good stuff!! :p

Re: Winterization tool "Check this out"
 

awesome set up

Re: Winterization tool "Check this out"
 

why dont you guys just run the antifreeze through your sea strainer. it will save you a lot of time... start up those doggies, and keep the strainer full of the good stuff. when you feel good about it, its done without the headache and all these rube goldberg contraptions.....

Re: Winterization tool "Check this out"
 

Interesting set-up. I do what stecz20 suggests after draining the block and exhaust.Three to four gallons through the sea strainer usually does it. With the Speedies, it simplifies things a little. Lots of good ideas out there. Go with what works best for you.

Re: Winterization tool "Check this out"
 

1. I don't have sea strainers.
2. No headaches involved ....its a simple set-up.

Re: Winterization tool "Check this out"
 

What the hell is all that for ???????

Re: Winterization tool "Check this out"
 

pretty cool setup, i think i may have to build somthing like that next year for sure. i like the idea of using the bilge pump and that yard cart thingie :cool: i just did the twins a few days ago. that looks alot easier than my way. keep in mind though guys that "green stuff" isnt to good for the environment when you fire'em up for the first time in the spring. the pink stuff offers all the same protection. not preach'n just somthing to keep in mind. :cool: :cool:
