from all freshwater faucets. Be sure to open all hot and cold water faucets, including the freshwater
shower in the cockpit and the faucet in the entertainment center. Make sure antifreeze has flowed
through all of the freshwater drains.
The shower/cabin drain sump system must be properly winterized. Clean debris from the drain and
sump and flush for several minutes with fresh clean water. After the system is clean, pump the drain
sump as dry as possible. Then pour a potable water antifreeze mixture into the shower drain until
antifreeze has been pumped through the entire system and out of the thru hull.
For additional information on the refer to the Fresh Water System chapter.
Raw Water System
Completely drain the raw water systems. Disconnect all hoses and blow the water from the system.
Use only very low air pressure when doing this to prevent possible system damage. Because of
the check valve mechanism built in the raw water washdown and livewell pumps, blowing the lines
will not remove the water from that raw water pump. Remove the outlet hose on the pump. Turn
the pump on and allow it to pump out any remaining water....about a cupful. A recommended
alternative to the above-mentioned procedure is the use of commercially available non toxic,
potable water system antifreeze. If potable water antifreeze is used, pour the mixture into a pail
and put the raw water intake lines into the solution. Run the pumps one at a time until the antifreeze
solution is visible at all raw water faucets, discharge fittings and drains. Be sure antifreeze has
flowed through all of the raw water drains.
Engine and Generator Raw Water Systems
Drain all of the sea strainers, heat exchangers and raw water supply and discharge lines for the
engine and optional generator raw water supply pumps. Make sure all sea water has drained from
the exhaust system. Some, but not all, engine mufflers could have a drain plug that must be removed
to properly drain the muffler. Once this is accomplished, pour a non toxic marine engine antifreeze
mixture into a large pail and put the engine raw water intake lines into the solution. Run the engines
one at a time until the antifreeze solution is visible at the transom exhaust port, then shut the engine
off.
Properly winterize the engines and fuel system by following the engine manufacturer’s
winterizing procedures located in your engine owner’s manuals or contact a Pursuit dealer.
Refer to the Raw Water System chapter for additional information on the raw water system.
Marine Toilet
The marine toilet must be properly winterized by following the manufacturer’s winterizing
instructions in the marine toilet owner’s manual. Drain the intake and discharge hoses completely
using low air pressure if necessary. The head holding tank and macerator discharge pump must
be pumped dry and one gallon of potable water antifreeze poured into the tank through the deck
waste pump out fitting. After the antifreeze has been added to the holding tank, open the overboard
discharge valve and activate the macerator pump until the antifreeze solution is visible at the
discharge thru hull.
