How to winterize an '84 33' Trojan

[alight32]

My daughter andI are trying to winterize her dad's 33' Trjan power boat (he has taken ill). We got supplies from the boat store where she works but we could use some general guidelines. Thanks!

Boat builders use many differant power combinations, so we need to know what we are dealing with to help you out.Big boat, so is this a direct drive, or is it mutiple outboard or sterndrive driven? Diesel or gas?Freshwater cooled or not?Give us more,we'dd love to help.

Hondon,I know this: direct drive; gas; freshwater cooled. I've been told I have to empty the freshwater system, drain the lines and cooling system; also put antifreeze in the toilet and sink trap. Good news is that some of my ex-husband's old boating buddies may take care of this for us, but just in case my daughter and I have to tackle the project this week, I want to be sure we do the best job we can do. Thanks for your help and support.
