    Starter spontaneously starts cranking. Volvo Penta GXi 8.1 L 2008

    Water System Winterization - Blow out or antifireeze

    I have a cruisers 330 and used to have a maxum 2800. I used to pump antifreeze into the whole system, but then I would get staining in the sinks and the water smelled funny. I dont want to go through that again and was thinking of blowing out the water lines instead. Anyone have ideas on this?
