With the passing of Labor Day, I’m starting to plan for winterizing my S-250CW for the first time. I watched the very informative YouTube video on winterizing Ranger tugs but I’m looking for ideas on how to do the raw water system on this boat. In the tug there is a relatively robust strainer that allows one to pour large amounts of “pink” into the system to get it through the pumps and other pipes. In the Solara, the strainer is different (see attached picture). The outlets are in the lid which is the opposite of the strainer in the tug, which I think will make the process more difficult. Anyone have an idea as to how I might get larger amounts of solution through the system without screwing and unscrewing the filter adding a few ounces at a time. I could see sticking the vertical pipe that goes to the T into a bucket but I’d like to avoid removing any existing hose clamps.
