Gee, interesting concept – winterize a boat by draining the tanks and pumping antifreeze into the system. I find it much easier to winterize by moving the boat to a warm climate for the winter:).
Sorry, couldn't resist. Actually I'm still in Beaufort, NC and it got down to the low forties last night. Headin' further south this weekend before I have to drain my water tanks as well.

I installed another T at the manifold before the pump with a longish piece of hose that reaches the bilge opening – it serves two purposes, 1. winterizing as you can pump air or solution through system, and 2. siphon any tank to the bilge for the bilge pump. It works out pretty well and will drain the 50 gallon tanks in about 15 minutes. It's also a good way to exercise your bilge pumps…
