I used the right stuff in the fresh water piping and the right stuff
in the engine. Both are happy.


Practical Sailor has recommended the cheap pink plumbing antifreeze as
a good thing to use in both the plumbing and the engine. I run a
gallon through the engine when it's warm (so the thermostat is open)
as the last gasp before they lift the boat. Then I open the engine
drain and let it flow out into the bilge.
