Home Hardware sells pure propylene glycol. Search for Cryo-Tek concentrated
antifreeze.
18.9 liters ( 5 US gallons ) is $135.
It may be that glycerin based antifreeze is the best choice for winterizing an
engine block
though other than in sprinkler systems it has not caught on.

I have had my boat since 1977. If pink antifreeze was harmful to rubber parts I
would have bought a TON of impellers and joker valves by now!

Yes. Environmental considerations aside, engine antifreeze is better for both
the raw water cooling system and the head, but not suitable for potable water
systems.

Joe,
I think you are right. And I read the same about how poisonous the two are.
I am using the pink stuff for winterisation and cross my fingers that the
rubber parts don’t mind it. The two primary concerns
is that I
replace either or both every so often. Compared to other expenses of operating
a sailboat these are acceptable.

There is a school of thought that maintains that the impeller might deteriorate
in the antifreeze, especially, since most of the AF is Ethylene Glycol. IIRC
about water
diluting the AF.

Are you hauling it out? If not, you should consider disconnecting the
exhaust elbow so that the water lift muffler doesn't draw moist air in and
out of the engine as the boat rocks fore and aft. Obviously wait till
you're done running glycol through.
Many people choose to change the oil/filter
It's my first year with the 2GM20F and it's almost time to winterize it. Is
there anything I need to do other running anti freeze through the fresh water
intake until it comes out the exhaust?
