WINTERIZATION
To winterize the LT4, prepare the boat for long term storage and drain the raw water side or
seawater side of the cooling system. It’s best to remove the end caps from the heat exchanger,
oil cooler, and intercooler charge cooler to drain and remove debris. At a minimum, the charge
cooler has a plug in the bottom near the rear of cooler for draining the raw water. Note that this
plug and the end caps on the charge cooler are BELOW THE WATER LINE if storing boat in
the water. Also, drain sand trap and any hoses that may hold raw water
