As part of winterizing my boat, I removed the tstat housing as somewhere on this forum someone suggested pouring the pink antifreeze into the engine from there, and I also want to replace the tstats anyway.
On one engine, there was a small amount of salt on the coil of the tstat as well as on the housing, which I thought was odd as it is a fresh water cooled boat, so how does that get there?
Also, it donned on me that the coolant is green, why would I put pink stuff in there as suggested? I already poured the pink stuff in the strainer with the engine running so that should be all set.
I used to do that on my previous boat, which was raw water cooled, so maybe I misinterpreted the post.
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving(coldest one here in 100 years!)
