Can anyone with this boat and Gen V engines tell me how you get the engines to take antifreeze? I have the aftermarket auxiliary ports for garden hose attachment that plumb via Y connector into the back of the raw water pump. Works fine under garden hose pressure. But when I connected it to a bucket full of antifreeze sitting in the cockpit, it didn't draw and grenaded an impeller.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The Jabsco Water Puppy drawing from a 5 gallon bucket did the trick. The hose connector that snaps in on each engine port does have a positive snap lock and a spring loaded tip that should open up a free flowing connection, but apparently not. Anyway, they are both done.
