Winterizing CD26 Marine Head

Post by DG »

What are the proper steps to be taken to winterize the CD26 Marine Head. Each year I toss some non-toxic anti freeze into the bowl and drain it from the plug at the bottom in the Spring. What's to keep the anti-freeze from going through the hose into the holding tank? How much anti-freeze do you use? What other steps are important?

I accomplished the ultimiate winterizing of the head on my newly acquired CD26 this past weekend by completely removing it. The system was leaky and had an awful odor. For me, the systems maintenence of a working head just wasn't worth it it. I'll use a port-a-potty as I did in my CD25.
