Default Winterize with Super Chillers

Morning All, Looking for some advice on winterizing my Zul 1000's with Super Chillers. Are there any special steps to take relative to the chillers, or just treat it like any other winterizing procedure. I am concerned about nooks and crannies in the chillers! Thanks

If you are that worried it's easy enough to disconnect the water hose entering the chiller and just pour your mixed antifreeze solution in until it comes out the exit lines off the transom. end of problem!

I don't know much about the super chillers but on my Procharger inter cooler I use automotive antifreeze to protect the aluminum core against corrosion. Drain it and re use next winter .

Any of you guys use anodes on your intercoolers to protect the aluminum cores ?
