Winterizing the new RXT 300's ??

[Bigmoss]

Just a question, on my GTI 130 there is a threaded tube area where I hook my pump up in the fall and put the rv anti freeze through to winterize. On my new 300 I dont see that tube area. I do see two threaded holes on either side of the back of the ski is that where I put the af through ?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks seen that video many times but does not address the new 300 model

But it's the same. Te flush port is in the same place and the manual for my 2016 GTX 300 says to use the compressed air just like in the video.

Well then I am blind as there is no flush port I can see there on my 300. Ill have to look closer this weekend

On mine there are two bilge drain plugs toward the outside and two threaded ports toward the inside near the bottom keel. The threaded port on the port side of the ski keel is the flush port. I purchased a large plastic garden hose on-off valve I use to thread into the port and then connect the hose. Makes it easy.

Ah ok so the two large threaded ports that are closed right now on the outside of each side of the ski one of those is the flush port ?

 

[tubshooter]

Yep, the one on the left. And you don't need to open and close them. It has a valve I guess so you just hook up the hose, start the engine (first) and then apply pressure.

Nice thanks for the info much appreciated

You need to leave the flush port open unless you are flushing the engine. Under normal operation water exits this port from the exhaust.

So I just want to confirm with this pic, it is the round port to the left in the pic that I attach my pump to and put antifreeze through the ski to winterize correct ?

That is where my GTX is, I assume that is the case with your newer 2016 Ski.
