If you are in San Francisco I can't think of any reason to winterize the boat, or flush the raw water side with fresh water for that matter. The bay is an estuary and as you work your way up the Delta, salinity decreases. And boats have been successfully using zincs in Norcal for decades, BTW.

Now I have to say, having cruised for several years out here on the east coast, I never met anyone who flushed their raw water side with fresh water ever, other than via a trip up the Hudson or Connecticut or Merrimack rivers...

What am I missing here?
