How many gallons of pink or green A/F do I need ?

Post by BIGDOG9857 »

Hi All, I want to get ready for the winter and I am not sure how many gallons of A/F I will need to winterize my 35 Albin T/E with a 440 Yanmar Diesel. I rather err on the liberal side to be safe. Thanks All. :wink:

Around here they kick you out of the boatyard if they catch you dumping traditional coolant in the yard or the marina.

Lucky I'm not at your marina.At spring start up I just pump the into a cutoff plastic barrel and dump in with waste liquids to be disposed of later.

Used 24 gals on ours. 7 per engine (6 probably would have been fine but better to be safe), 3 for the head, 3 for AC, 4 for
fresh water, shower drain etc.
