Heres a checklist given to me by a salty pro. I use it religiously. My boat is a 34' Dancer with 454 Crusaders, AC, Generator and icemaker. Offered for your review... Winterization Process Water system needs to be drained completely and holding tank as well. It is impossible to get every...

While reading directions to remove water from these 1985 era gas 454 engines I see the following instructions... "Drain the Heat exchanger, manifolds, and oil cooler of sea water. There are two plugs, one for antifreeze and the other for seawater." Can anyone share where these seawater plugs...

Taylor has the parts. Have to order thru your local Searay dealer. If Dealer cant find part numbers Ive found the best way to communicate with Taylor is to mail the old parts to them and ask for parts numbers. That always seems to work.

jus did this on my 1985 340. A pain in the butt but well worth the trouble. Looks fantastic. My parts might be different from yours because of the age difference but they were all produced by the same manufacturer. First, when you contact Taylor (they supplied the original product to Searay)...

Well now its September and the season is 60 days from being over in New England. So...if you leave your boat in the water, have a bilge heater with alarm and a cabin heater, and there is enough tide current to keep ice from forming, do you remove/winterize impellers in genny and engines and...
