first run, success
finaly after 3+ months of work I got to take her out for a test run. also, something thats been itching me fer a while, is it safe to pump anti-freeze into a zen? incase i lose power in my home. last winter i was without power and heat for 10 days cuz of an ice storm and i never seem to be able to get all the water out of the pump and head.

Looks nice that place. Post some pics of the boat and setup. My guess is to not worrie about anti freeze, just blow the system best you can before storage. I spray some oil in the jacket to avoid the alu oxidation, that is a hot tip.
So thats why one would need a pump [sm=idea.gif]
