If you use anti freeze be sure its  for potable water. it also takes a lot to get the system winter ready. far easier to drain the heater and by pass the lines to get antifreeze into the system.  be sure you get pink at all faucets both hot and cold

Easier to blow the lines out with a small air compressor

My practice has always been to drain the tank and bypass it with a short length of hose. That the gets the water system in the boat protected with antifreeze. If you do put AF in the hot water tank be prepared for either a foul smell when you heat the water in the spring.

My practice in MD was to blow out the lines. The HW heater was drained manually into the bilge and reconnected to the house water system. I then used my little Sears air compressor attached to the water supply line attached at the tank manifold to blow out all hot and cold water lines (tanks were drained using the standard water pump, first). This worked wonderfully for 6 cold MD winters without failure until we winterized by sailing south. Just don't forget to blow out the swim shower lines! It worked well for me to hold the compressor hose in place while Linda went to each set of faucets to drain each hot and cold line. We used anti freeze in the Yanmar (-100C) and absolutely none of that foul stuff in any other tank or line. 

I did swish a dash down each drain, though, and in the heads and made sure lines to the holding tanks were full of the stuff.

And not bypassing costs you an extra 6 gallons of antifreeze.

I do it every winter. Our heater is in a very tied space. I know, I can't get all the water out and I can't rely on electricity stay on all winter either.

but you can use windshield washer fluid for anything you don't drink from.   $1.99/gallon is cheaper than $5.99

I spent $30 on a bypass kit from RV store. Took 10 min to install. Now turn 2 valves and the water heater is bypassed.
