I use a couple of big bottles of cheap vodka to winterize our moho...empty the lines, add the vodka, and run it thru the pump till it foams coming out of the taps...much better than that pink stuff you have to flush and flush and flush...unfortunately, it doesn't taste too good, but, then, it's cheap...haven't tried rum, but...mike

Mike.
I would think the alcohol would attack any rubber or vinyl it contacts, by making it expand.

If you don't polish...you will always want to.
If you do polish ...you will always wonder why you did it.
We want to see photos after your done too.

I say polish. I stripped my Argosy this spring/Summer it took many many many hours but now that it is polished I love how it looks. I was able to get the whole thing to a mirror finish, well except the end caps. Now I need to get the caps painted this winter. I have some great ideas for that. Good luck.

Andy,
It hasn't, yet, and the results so far have been ok...the expansion of the rubber/vinyl is preferable to the expansion of water in the pipes...we've been down to 11 degrees in the last couple of days...I really hate dealing with the pink stuff, and don't know what its residue does to you...vodka, on the other hand, is a quantifiable and predictable outcome...a slow attack on your liver, and an excellent cleanser of the pipe sysem m
