Winterizing the ice maker in a 99 340 DA?

[Soul Mate II]

All done with winterizing with one exception...the ice maker. I have a 99 340 DA. It has an icemaker that I don't know how to winterize. I tried turning it on and seeing if it would make pink ice for the nontox. No pink cubes (I guess the stuff really works). I can't tell if I have pink up there.

Any help would be appreciated

Short answer: Remove the screws from the flange, pull the ice maker out, remove the water line from water valve, disconnect water lines from other side of water valve and drain.

Long answer: In my '99 330 I installed a screw-out deck plate in the vertical wall between the ice maker and the space under the sink. I rerouted the water valve that feeds the ice maker to a place where I can reach when I remove the access plate. The weekend before the boat is pulled for the winter, I turn the water valve off, and let the ice maker cycle for a few hours. I then defrost the ice maker and leave it off. The following weekend, I bring my air compressor and with a custom fitting hook it up to the dockside water inlet and blow out my water lines. To the heart of the story, I take advantage of the check valve in the dockside inlet. I shut all water faucets off, and let the air compressor pressurize the water lines. Disconnect ari compressor, open the ice maker valve, turn ice maker back on for a few hours, accumulated air pressure blows remaining water out of lines in the ice maker system. Usually end up with a set of baby ice cubes that get tossed into the lake. Turn ice maker off, and open all faucets about half way.
