Any procedures to get water out of pump/lines?

    Gonna do the lower unit this weekend and was wondering if there’s anything I should know about draining water in pumps or lines in my WX1850 (’10). My previous two boats I never had to do anything with them, but thought I’d ask just to be sure.
    thanks.

    If you have an air compressor, you can blow the lines clean.

    I usually just use RV antifreeze (or windshield wash fluid) and pour down the well drains until it comes out the back. Put a little in the bilge area too.

    Just hit the pumps on for 2-3 seconds and that blows all the water out of them. Should be good to go.
