2024 Ranger Tug R31S Winterization

[mtheodoseau]

I have reviewed all the tugnuts / ranger tugs videos and you tube videos etc and when winterizing all I see is everyone turning the seacock for the main Volvo D4 off and filling the strainer with RV Antifreeze and running engine. But this does not feed into the AC or Generator.....

How do I winterize the NextGen2 Generator since there are additional seacock intakes for that and also it looks like there are seacock intakes for the AC unit. (if i look under boat there are 1/2" seacock holes) In order to run the AC unit I need the generator on. How do I push RV antifreeze through the AC unit and also the Generator at same time?

Filling the little strainer cups with RV fluid does not work since there is not enough volume of RV fluid to run generator then start AC unit with same strainer setup.

Any helpful steps or videos on how to correctly winterize AC and Generator?

Thanks,
Matt

Hello Matt,

The gen has its own strainer and it will take two people to do it. You can find the same strainer cap with a hose adapter on it for flushing/winterizing. Have someone pour RV antifreeze while you are running the gen (make sure you close the seacock first). You can do the same process for the AC.
