2021 Nautique 200 pcm zr4 winterization

[Jwakes]

Hey there! Does anyone have a full rundown of how to winterize a ‘21 nautique 200? I have searched high and low. There’s bits and pieces but nothing that is clear and start to finish. I’d like to do it myself. My older engine nautiqe buddies look at the engine and scratch their heads. Thanks!!

Google "planetnautique manuals". That will bring you to a page on this site with all of the manuals. Your 2021 should have the easy disconnect winterization connections.

So according to the manuals you just drain it… and don’t put antifreeze in it? Is this the best way to do it?

I know people that dry block and others go back and fill the raw water area with antifreeze. It's pretty much up to you. Either way its probably one on the easier engine packages to winterize.

And then of course you have all the other stuff to deal with like fuel filters, oil change, ballast tanks and such. These newer engines really are much easier to winterize.

pull the 3 raw water hoses and push into bilge to drain, remove raw water strainer and drain, put everything back together and fire the engine up for a few seconds and you're done. You can then suck in some RV antifreeze if you want but its not necessary.
