I winterized my 2012 177 yesterday and wanted to post this question.  Do you bother using compressed air to blow out the water lines?  I really didn't get much if any water blowing out.  I noticed this last year too.  The one line I'm not certain about is the black tank rinse line.  Maybe the water lines in pods are short enough that they drain when you open the low point valves?  What do you think?

Let me just add that after blowing out the water lines I fill them with anti-freeze.

We blow with air, then add antifreeze... I never really paid attention to how much comes out, between the low points, and the various faucets, I would say it's at least a gallon.. and I note it takes about a gallon of antifreeze to get pink out of every faucet, both sides.
