View Full Version : Winterization



10-12-2004, 04:08 PM
Its that time of year again and as dealers get busy ($$$) with stock winterizations; I have convinced myself that I would put more care into the lay up of my 2004SS. My question to anyone who cares to reply... Is there a preferred winterization technique? Mostly concerning the use of anti-freeze vs. draining? Indmar has included a pretty thourough step-by step winter lay up that shows different points to drain (block, raw water pump, tranny cooler and manifolds) not to mention heater core. Is this sufficient? My thought might be to do both... After the Oil change and Stabil... To run antifreeze through the raw water cooling system and then to drain as much out as I can. This way if I do leave any fluid behind, I wont have to worry about freezing. Maybe a little bit of over-kill, but if anyone has any thoughts or advise, it would be appreciated. Thanks~
