Hey M19, welcome to the CobaltChat forum. So glad you found us!
Another member (JasonS??) had a similar experience. Sounds like you're on the same page. I have a blow out pump which blows the water out into the bilge. I also winterize with an antifreeze mixture as an extra precaution (heat exchangers) even though the manual does not include this extra step.
Others may chime in.
Do you have any pics? Feel free to start an intro thread only if you have the time. We sure enjoy reading them here.
Once again, welcome aboard mate!

I ended up taking the boat to the dealer and letting them winterize it. Based on the invoice I received, they suck up 2 gallons of antifreeze and then drain it back out using the Easy Drain. As others have mentioned, letting the dealer handle it is cheap insurance even though I prefer DIY.
Thanks for the follow up. Yes, that's exactly what I do (although I do it myself). How much did they charge for the winterization procedure?
Any pics?
