CAUTION
A RUPTURED RAW WATER INTAKE OR PRESSURE LINE
COULD CAUSE THE BOAT TO TAKE ON WATER. ALWAYS
TURN THE RAW WATER SYSTEMS OFF AND CLOSE THE
THRU-VALVES WHEN LEAVING THE BOAT UNATTENDED.
8.4 Raw Water System Maintenance
The following items should be done routinely to
help maintain your raw water system:
• Check hoses, particularly the seawater supply
lines, for signs of deterioration. Tighten fittings
or replace deteriorated hoses and components
as necessary.
• Periodically remove and clean the water
strainer located near the intake side of the
washdown pump. To clean the strainer, make
sure the Raw Water switch is off and close
the valve at the thru-hull fitting. Rotate the
strainer bowl counterclockwise to release it.
Remove and clean the screen with fresh water.
Lubricate the O-ring lightly with silicon or
Teflon grease and reinstall the strainer bowl.
• Spray pumps and thru-hull valves with a pro-
tective oil periodically.
• Fishboxes and baitwells should be drained and
cleaned after each use.
• Operate all seacock valves at least once a
month to keep them operating properly.
