yeah, I agree - stay with the pink stuff

I'm very concerned about frozen rigid fittings and pipe. I surveyed a boat years ago that had a split fresh water tank outlet, from freeze damage. The owner had left just a small residual amount of water in his tank and maybe condensation added to it, but it covered the fitting and expanded. I keep all faucets and thru-hulls in the open position as part of my winterizing routine.
