Designed for boats with a compatible thru-hull water intake, the system can be used with many direct-drive and V-drive inboard installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe multi-valve assembly allows the engine to run on fresh water until it reaches operating temperature. Once the thermostat opens, the cooling-system supply can be switched from fresh water to marine antifreeze without disconnecting the system. This helps replace water inside the engine block and raw-water cooling passages before freezing temperatures arrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for winterizing compatible inboard marine engines\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for many direct-drive and V-drive boat installations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlushes particulates and impurities from the raw-water cooling system\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeparate valves control the fresh-water and antifreeze supplies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwitches from fresh water to antifreeze without disconnecting the system\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllows the engine to reach operating temperature before antifreeze is introduced\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReusable components can be flushed, dried and stored after winterization\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e12\" x 7\" x 3-1\/2\" multi-valve assembly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6' winterizing hose\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5-gallon antifreeze container\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntifreeze container hose adapter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation clamps\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInboard Application\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Camco 65506 is intended for inboard boats with a compatible thru-hull raw-water intake. Direct drive and V-drive describe the boat's drivetrain arrangement; compatibility with this kit depends on the location and accessibility of the engine's raw-water intake. Inspect the boat's cooling-water intake configuration before beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnect the winterizing system to a fresh-water supply and compatible inboard motor flusher positioned over the boat's thru-hull water intake. Run the engine at idle until it reaches operating temperature. The multi-valve assembly is then used to close the fresh-water supply while opening the antifreeze supply, directing marine antifreeze into the engine's raw-water cooling system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat You Will Need\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePropylene-glycol marine engine winterizing antifreeze with burst protection of at least -50°F\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFresh-water supply and garden hose\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible thru-hull inboard motor flusher\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecommended Inboard Motor Flusher\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor compatible boats with a thru-hull water intake, we recommend the Moeller 099085-00 Pro Inboard Motor Flusher. The flusher creates a temporary water connection over the raw-water intake beneath the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMotor flusher and marine antifreeze are not included.
