[C320-list] AC winterized

[Paul Rickman]

For those who were asking: Winterized today.
For the A/C: 53 degrees today so I disconnected
the thru hull, put it in some anti-freeze and cranked
the heat to 80 degree. Sucked the anti-freeze right up.

Hey, gang, thanks for the help with how to winterize the AC. Our boat was on the 
hard and it was getting dark when we got there.  


John, sorry, but I forgot to go forward and check out the organizer. Bob said 
that the cleat on the mast holds the main halyard.  Did someone from Sailing 
Center commission your boat too?  That might be the prob.

Mine is leaking too.
I have the European 3GM30F. In Canada It's around 700$ for a new one :-(
Almost the price of outboard motor. So if anyone know where to find rebuilt
kit, I would go for that. Or any other option, like having a none Johson
replacement.
