We summarized our fresh water system yesterday, and half the fixtures on the boat are leaking: Transom shower, galley faucet, both toilets, city water inlet (or maybe transom washdown) even when disconnected.

We stored indoors and last fall, at the direction of the marina, winterized the system by running the west marine pink stuff through the system and out each faucet.

Could something have damaged the seals in all of these fixtures?

Any other ideas about what might be causing this?
 
We used pink one year as you did and the taps all worked well. I now blow the lines out and drain the hot water tank. If the pink you used was alcohol base you probably damaged the buna washers and O-Rings. If it was the $6 a gallon pink it should not have damage rubber parts. Take a leaking tap apart. If rubber is soft or sticky it was effected by your pink.
