96' 370 DA-Winterizing the fresh water system,

[Nauti-Kal]

What is the best way to winterize the fresh water system? Blow it out with an air compressor? Hook it up to what part of the system to blow out? I have a 1996 370 Sundancer

Not sure you'll get consensus here on 'the best way' but you have three basic options. 1) you can put pink into the tank, 2) connect pink into the water pump directly (bypass kit) or 3) blow regulated compressed air into the water line from a dockside water input. For option 3) you'll need an adapter to go from the female hose input to a air compressor hook-up. Amazon has them. Each has it's own process and technique but the object is the same - get the water out of the system so no risk of freezing/cracking piping or fixtures.

I've done all three and prefer option 3).
