It's been 20 years since I last winterrized a boat.  If memory serves me correctly, back then all we would do is: add fuel stabilizer on last day on water, top off tank on way home, change engine oil, transmission oil, and then the marine antifreeze.  I can not remember how I adminstered the antifreeze.  Do you remove the t-stat and pour it in the hose, or do you just suck it up through the water intake bypass and wait for it to come out of the exhaust?

The Flush Pro was installed on the boat when I purchased it.  1996 Malibu Sunsetter 320 Monsoon.  I guess my main question is, if I just run the antifreeze through, will it damage the t-stat?

The answer to your question is no... There are different ways to Winterize a boat, here's how I do it... I drain all the water out of the block, hoses, exhaust manifolds, shower and heater if equipped... then put the pink anti-freeze in thru the Flash Pro... I usually put five gallons in and leave it in the block over the winter.
Ski ya later,
Oz

Thanks Oz.  It's been awhile and I wanted to make sure that I did it right.
