Mine are already done also the generator but pulling the first water intake hose off every year and hunching down is not for ma anymore.
I want to put a valve in between the intake and the water pump.
What do some of you use.Just a lever type open close valve facing upward so you can stick a funnel in and let the engine suck in the anti freeze?
I am not at the boat now but going to home depot sometime today or tomorrow.
I could put a tee in the line facing upward and putting a valve on the center of the tee.What size is that intake hose?

I think I figured it out today when I winterized my air conditioner and water tank and lines.
I want an all in one station where I can put a 5 gal can on top and do all the winterizing from one spot.
I can see how to do it but where to get all the parts????
