Some folks might get upset when you start up the engines in the spring. EPA especially.

Definitely not good for the environment to have it spray out of the back of the boat in the spring and the eco friendly stuff is cheap.

If you have a Rural King store in your area they have a great buy on RV anti freeze, $2.09 a gallon.
