| Post subject: | Winterize through factory flush kit option A24 |
I have a 2018 A24 and ordered it with the transom flush kit with the intention of using it for quick winterization. I went to do it yesterday with a 5 gallon jug full of RV antifreeze and a short garden hose running from that to the flush out connection on the transom. Boat was warmed up and I closed the cold water through hull inlet but the boat will not pull the antifreeze from the jug. I had the jug well above the motor and even tried pressurizing it but couldn't get it to flow through. Am I doing something wrong? I called the dealer and they were no help and just said bring it in and pay us the $500 to do it for you. I specifically ordered the boat with this option for this purpose and can't get it to work. Any ideas? Jason |

I have the transom flush kit on my 15 A22 as part of the salt water package to flush everything on my half closed cooling system and it works great with a pressurized hose. Do you have a closed cooling system on your boat too, or is raw water circulating through your engine block? |

There is not enough suction on that flush port to pull the antifreeze in. You need a pump. Any small 12v or 120v pump will work. Just find one that accepts garden hoses and your set. |

Camco Do It Yourself Boat Winterizer- Quickly Winterize Marine Engines, Allows Flushing and Preparation of Boat Engine for Winter Storage (65501) by Camco. I have the same set up on my 2018 A24 and used the "CAMCO" set up to do mine and it worked great. I made sure boat was nice and warm prior to flushing it. make sure you have the bleeder valve open on the 5gal container. |
