I've read where some of you were trying to get RV antifreeze into your cooling system and I thought I would share how I do it. I bungee up a tarp under the boat so that all the water/antifreeze will run to a spot at the back where I have a small sump pump with a garden hose connected to the clean outs . I pour in about 5 gallon of antifreeze on the tarp by the pump and run each engine until the thermostats open and I'm sure it is all flushed. After I shut the pump off, I rev the engines to blow out most of the antifreeze. At the least, I believe whatever is still in the system, will not freeze.

Also don't forget to take out your Porta Potties and empty completely, including the flushing pump.
