  • Winterization and Antifreeze Question

    I have read the forum FAQ and the owners manual on winterization but still have some questions.
    I own a 98 GTX LTD and I am worried about a cracked block from the cold. It gets VERY cold in MN.

    I disconnected the water inlet at the T along the ride side of the ski. The line then connects to the head on the side, about the middle. I used a compressor and blew through that line, and water came out from the back, from the intake grate?
    Anyway, I then poured RV Marine antifreeze through that line and blew through it again. The antifreeze came out similar to the water.

    QUESTION: Is that all I should be doing to prevent block damage? Is it that simple? Install antifreeze anywhere else?
    Thanks for your help! Great web site.

    That's fine, you just want to get some anti-freeze mixed with any standing water. I would also disconnect your waterbox and pour a bit in there, there is always standing water in there.
