I am keeping my 330 express in the water through the winter. Wondering what needs to be done to salt water washdown system to winterize. I am emptying fresh water tanks and flushing with RV antifreeze and pumping out head and running a gallon of antifreeze through the toilet. I have someone winterizing the ac/heating system and generator. Anything esle I'm missing?

For the saltwater washdown, close the seacock, disconnect the hose from it, open all your saltwater outlets and blow air with a compressor or a shopvac into the hose you disconnected from seacock. Make sure you buy a water circulator and throw it in the water on the side of your boat, so salt water doesn't freeze around your boat. Tip: If they(dealer)recomend you a specific size for the circulator, get the next size bigger.

Oh, you got to do also the livewell, you can do the same thing as the saltwater washdown.

Also, keep your motors in the water vertical, not tilted up.

Not sure where you're located, but I hope your boat is OK after the hurricane.
