Both aft and fwd A/C systems on my 349 have a Mini Orange pump to evacuate condensed water from the drip pan, do those need to be winterized and if yes, how? I am just worried that the small amount of water left in the pump may freeze and do some damage.  Attachment Deleted |

These are self priming pumps no ?
In that case the water will be pushed out if you run the pump for a short time.
The question is , can you run the pump manually ?
And if in doubt you can always pour some coolant in the drip pan and run it through the system , not that much of a job is it not.
Regards

Yes, those pumps are self priming but there is no switch on them to activate manually. You are right, pouring antifreeze in the drip pan should do the trick, not sure what triggers the pump though, there must be some kind of sensing device that feels there is condensation water in the pan?
Thanks for jumping in.
