    So I have always winterized my 820's with nontoxic antifreeze. In talking with another owner he only drains the saltwater . Any thoughts which is preferred?

    Non toxic antifreeze. If you miss a pocket of saltwater, big issues. Plus the non toxic anti freeze is better on the metals than salt water drying up in there.

    Thanks J, that's been my thinking over the years as well.
