Seawater Systems
Seacocks
•
A seacock is a valve that is used to manage the pickup of sea-
water through the hull and below the water line.
•
Seacocks are controlled by a 90º lever and are used on the
seawater pickup systems for the air conditioning system and
marine head (toilet) system.
•
Before using any of these systems, make sure that the system’s
seacock is Open and remains in the Open position until the
system is shut Off.
Seawater Strainers
Seawater strainers are used in water pick-up systems to filter incoming seawater. The typical layout is one strainer for
the marine head and one for the air conditioning system (if equipped).
Seawater strainers are located near the system’s seawater pickup valves (seacocks). Check for leaks and/or debris
every time you use your boat. If debris is found, clean the seawater strainer as follows:
1. Make sure the component/system that the strainer is connected to is turned Off.
2. Close the pickup seacock that sends seawater to the strainer you are about to clean. The seacock must remain
Closed until the strainer is completely reassembled.
3. Take apart the seawater strainer.
4. Remove debris.
5. Reassemble the seawater strainer.
6. Open the seacock before turning on the component or system.
