After the long winter nap, checked on the boat last weekend and I have about 1/2 cup of pink anti-freeze in my forward bilge. I used -100 green in the engine, so I am pretty sure it is not from there. Any idea's, the KGB still has pink in the tank and the fitting into the tank looks OK, no anti-freeze around the fitting.
:confused:

Indeed it was, I pulled the panel behind the dash, checked the heater, no antifreeze on the carpet so I think the heater core is good, not from there plus I used green on the engine. The "T" connection for the fill on the KGB has some antifreeze on the top side, possibly in the freeze oozed out around the hose clamps:confused: As I said, the tank still has what appears to be the same amount of antifreeze I put in the fall. I guess I won't know until I can get her in the water and fill the tank and see if it leaks.
Also after some checking, just fyi, -50 (Pink) does freeze @ 13 degrees, -50 is burst protection, next year I will use all -100 green -58 freeze point. We were below 13 for some time this year.
One more strange thing, when I turned on the batteries, the ballast switches in the off position all light up and would not run, cycled the battery and two went out, and would run, cycled the battery again and all went out and would run, very strange, gremlins I guess.:rolleyes:
