Winterizing a 2008 340 Indmar

Guessing you have an air bubble.

Ideally you would want to raise the bucket high enough to fill the hose and fake a lake plunger.

A fake a lake typically is fed via water pressure from a water source.

Assuming you have a open cooling system, if so.......

Pretty sure you want to hook the garden hose to your fake a lake and run engine until your thermostat opens, then you would put antifreeze through it.

I personally would pull the water intake hose and gravity feed the antifreeze through it as you run the engine......think of a giant beer bong.

I got the rain barrel spigot, mounted it on a bucket, and hooked it up to the fake a lake and set the bucket on the swim step. When I put it in neutral and bumped up the rpms a bit, it sucked the antifreeze through like a champ. Sucked up about 5.5 gallons before it started coming out the exhaust.

Worked great, thanks for the tip!

Alcohol is quite volatile and subject to flashing off in an open environment thus reducing its effectivemess. Plus its not much cheaper than plumbing antifreeze
