Several questions:

1) Drained my freshwater tank and added 4 gals antifreeze. Bypassed my h/w heater and as a result took my cockpit sink out of the loop. When disconnecting the cold water intake from the h/w heater for the bypass I noticed the cold water line from the cockpit sink drained into the bilge. Is this sufficient or now that my hot water feeds are winterized should I connect my cold water line now connected to the hotwater line (h/w heater bypass) to the cold water feed for the cockpit sink and run antifreeze through.

2)Also don't know how to winterize the icemaker. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

3)I have 7.4 horizons with fresh water flush kits for the raw water part of the system and was wondering if I can close the seacock and run pink through the flush kits until I see the pink coming out the side or add through the strainers. Have also been reading some threads about draining the raw water system and was wondering if this is necessary if running pink throuth the system.

That's all for now. Thanks in advance for your input.
