The 355 also had a raw water washdown option with a faucet located to the port of the ice maker/sink cabinet. If you have this option, the faucet and some of the line going to it will be exposed to freezing temps. You may want to consider winterizing that entire system.

Spent hours last weekend trying to figure out where that line was. We disassembled the clause that in the after bedroom could not find it. We actually found it in the Wall panel behind the couch. I have a handy man installing the T this week so that we can shut off water at that point. As a no to everybody and everybody may already know this when I pulled off the ice maker grill on the front I found the quarter inch pic line in merely touched it and it crumbled in my fingers. My Carver is a 1996 so obviously those lines don't last forever thou be something that I can change out in the Spring. If you have a boat of similar age may want to think about changing your line out as well.

Yep it's common for that type of line to get brittle over time. Good thing you caught it now.
