SOME OF THOSE NICE WASH DOWN PUMPS AND LIVE WELL PUMPS HOLD WATER AND NEED A LITTLE PINK ANTI FREEZE IN THEM SO THEY WILL WORK NEXT YEAR .
ALSO IF THE DRAINS ARE PLASTIC PIPE AND NOT RUBBER THE DRAINS LINE CAN FREEZE CAUSING A NASTY LEAK THAT WE SOME TIME HAVE TO PULL OUT FLOORS TO FIX .
YOU CAN STILL USE YOU BOAT IN THE WINTER AFTER WINTERIZING THESE FEATURES BY REMOVING THE INLET SCREENS AND PUTTING A PLUG IN THE INTAKE PIPES AS WELL AS THE DRAIN OUTLETS .
HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE FISHING IN THE COLDER WATERS !!
SOME OF THE BEST FISHING IS WHEN ITS COLD BUT BE EXTRA SAFE .
A LITTLE ANTI FREEZE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BOAT IS RECOMENDED FOR ANY ONE FISHING IN THE COLDER WEATHER TO ELIMINATE THE POSIBILITY THAT A BILGE PUMP IMPELLER COULD BE FROZE UP WHEN ITS NEEDED THE MOST AD MORE EVERY TRIP AND CHECK THE BILGE MAKE SURE ITS FREE FROM ICE
