CHECK SEAWATER STRAINERS FOR
LEAKS AND ACCUMULATION OF
DEBRIS
1. Check the following stainers:
a. Port and starboard engine cooling
water strainers located in engine
compartment.
b. Generator cooling water strainer
located in engine compartment.
c. Air conditioning seawater strainer
located in the engine compartment.
d. Cockpit washdown strainer located at
the transom on the port side.
2. Inspect all hose connections to and from
the strainers for leakage.
3. If hose is damaged or leaking, close the
appropriate seacock to prevent any
further entry of water, and then replace
the damaged hose and clamps. See your
authorized Cruisers Yachts Dealer for
parts and service.
4. Inspect container for debris buildup
which can clog the strainer and cause a
system failure. If strainer needs to be
cleaned, do the following:

b. Remove strainer cover. Some covers
can be removed by simply loosening
a wing nut and swinging the cover to
the side; others need to be
unfastened using an allen tool.
c. Lift strainer from container and use a
stiff brush to clean. Rinse with clean
water and return to container.
5. Fasten cover to container and remember
to open seacock before operating.
CHECK EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR
LEAKS
1. Start the engines following the normal
start procedure.
2. Check hose connections from engines
and generator for leakage.
3. If leakage is apparent, tighten hose
clamps. If leakage persists, replace
hoses and clamps. See your Cruisers
Yachts Dealer for parts and service.
