Camco D-I-Y Boat Winterizer Engine Flushing System - 65501

Camco DIY Boat Winterizer & Engine Flushing System – 5-Gallon | MPN: 65501

Protect your marine engine from catastrophic freeze damage, corrosion, and scale buildup with the Camco DIY Boat Winterizer Engine Flushing System (Part Number: 65501). Designed for boat owners, DIYers, and marine service technicians, this gravity-fed winterizing kit provides a fast, foolproof method to flush raw water cooling circuits and introduce non-toxic antifreeze into your boat's engine block, manifolds, and heat exchangers.

Key Features & Performance Advantages

• Gravity-Fed Antifreeze Tank: Large 5-gallon tank provides ample capacity to thoroughly flush and fill most 4-cylinder, V6, and V8 marine engines in a single pass.
  
  
• Integrated Flow Control Ball Valve: Allows precise control over liquid flow, enabling you to switch seamlessly from fresh water flush to antifreeze draw as the engine reaches operating temperature.
  
  
• Reinforced 5/8-Inch Clear Hose: Durable clear hose allows visual verification of fluid color and flow speed to ensure antifreeze is entering the lower unit properly.
  
  
• Solid Brass Hose Fittings: Heavy-duty brass couplings resist stripping, corrosion, and leaks under pressure.
  
  
• Universal Flusher Compatibility: Connects directly to standard outboard motor muffs or inboard engine flush attachments (muffs sold separately).
  
  
• Extends Engine Life: Removes salt, silt, and mineral deposits while filling raw water passages with rust inhibitors and freeze-protection glycol.

Easy 5-Step Operating Instructions

1. Setup: Place the Camco 5-gallon tank on a surface elevated above the engine's water intake (e.g., swim platform, deck, or gunnel).
   
   
2. Fill: Fill the container with 5 gallons of marine-grade non-toxic propylene glycol antifreeze (-50°F or -100°F rated).
   
   
3. Connect: Attach the 5/8" clear hose from the tank valve to your motor flusher muffs attached over the engine's lower unit water intake pick-ups.
   
   
4. Warm-Up: Warm the engine up to operating temperature using fresh water first so the internal thermostat opens completely.
   
   
5. Flush & Protect: Turn off fresh water, open the Camco tank ball valve, and start the engine. Allow the engine to draw the antifreeze until colorful fluid exits the exhaust ports, then shut the engine down immediately.
