Bleedin Water System

[syd]

Well Its that time of year again, Winter, in case you havent noticed.

I want to drain the fresh and raw water systems on my AD41's. Until the manuals arrive could someone please tell me where the drain cocks are?

Many thanks

Syd

Don't drain the fresh water, it should have antifreeze in it, just make sure it's up to strength. Follow the pipe from seawater pump, down port side of engine, about level with front of starter, on underside of pipe is a drain bolt. Think there is another, under exhaust manifold.

Or easier than that. Theres a square alan key type grub screw on the front of the water pump. Socket set handle fits it. Letts enogh water out to add antifreeze.

Yes, that's true.
The bolt I was on about is to drain sea water ( only remove this bolt if boat is out of water, as it's below water line)
