Carver Mariner 350 City Water Hookup - Winter
The City Water section has a back flow valve so you can't pump your stored water out the fitting. It also has a pressure reducer in it.
Thoughts?

Re: Carver Mariner 350 City Water Hookup - Winter
That being said, opening a tap inside the boat (closest to the shore water is easiest), and then connecting an airline to the shore water and introducing air pressure to the line is a great first step. Then disconnect and run your pink through the system. Or, simply open up every line and run the air through one at a time.
If you run pink through the system at the waterpump, you also have the option of disconnecting the line at the back of the shorewater hook up. Four screws on the faceplate and then the hose clamp (or the PEK fitting if newer boat) and you will get the pink coming backwards out of that line. This has been my method for years, no pump required - just my phillips screwdriver.

Re: Carver Mariner 350 City Water Hookup - Winter
The batteries are already disconnected and the entire fresh water system is pink. In retrospect, I did not send pink through the 'fresh water washdown' faucet either.
Which technique would you folks recommend?
Midnightsun's, seems like the best bet. Perhaps pump some through while opening fresh water wash down faucet. I won't be required to hook up batteries. Seems easy enough: go to home depot and pick up a pump, short hose and some pink.
What do you think?
Thanks.

Don't forget the transom shower.

Re: Carver Mariner 350 City Water Hookup - Winter
Your only course of action now is to disconnect the shorewater hook up at the transom and any residual pressure should release the fresh water back through there - if your taps are closed off.
+1 on the transom shouwer.
