[C320-list] Engine Winterization

[Steven Magennis]

You aren't using the pink stuff in the engine, the raw water loop (that
we winterize using the pink stuff is used to cool a recirculating
"normal antifreeze" system by way of a secondary heat exchanger.  The
raw water is then dumped into the exhaust to both cool and muffle the
exhaust gases on the way to the transom.

The pink stuff is OK for this use.
