Today I went, disconnected the raw water pump to the a/c, and with my air compressor, blew air through the hose. Water came out the side thru-hull (exit) of the a/c and I did this several times until no more water came out, and it was just 100% compressed air.
I then drained the sea strainer, and blew compressed air through the raw water pump (little/no water came out).
Lastly, I took a funnel and some hose, and placed -50f anti-freeze in the A/C drip tray until it ran pink into my shower sump, which is where the A/C condensation line goes to.
But more importantly, do I have to run anti-freeze BACK through the A/C? If so, I will go buy a drill pump tomorrow. Thanks!!
Guess I have been lucky. All I normally do is blow air through mine and it's not all that difficult to get all the water out by doing that. I do fill it with antifreeze just to be on the safe side and I've never had an issue. Chris268 I have a hose that I've fashioned that will fit tightly into the output of the AC and yes some can spill but I can pretty quickly pour in antifreeze until it runs out the bottom of the strainer. Like I've said maybe I've just been lucky. I've never thought about running anything through the condensate.
If you've had air coming out I would think you're OK.
