[C320-list] Engine Winterization

[Stanley Rogacevicz]

   There are actually 3 flavors out there now (at WM). Pink -50 and Blue -100 designed for drinking water systems. Now there is also Purple -60 designed for engine systems such as the muffler with More Rust Inhibitors like the 'real' engine stuff. Still environmentally OK and  OK for drinking water use but I use it because the mufflers rust fast enough, so I spring for a few extra bucks worth of 'possible' protection against muffler rust out.

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.
