6.4 Raw Water System Maintenance
The following items should be done routinely to help maintain your raw water system:
• Check hoses, particularly the seawater supply line, for signs of deterioration.
• Remove and clean the seawater strainers.
• Spray pumps and thru hull valves with a protective oil periodically.
• The fishboxes and livewells should be drained and cleaned after each use.
• Operate all thru hull valves at least once a month to keep them operating properly.
SHOULD A HOSE RUPTURE, TURN THE PUMP OFF IMMEDIATELY. ALWAYS CLOSE
THE THRU HULL VALVE WHEN PERFORMING MAINTENANCE ON A SEAWATER PUMP.
THE BATTERIES MUST BE PROPERLY CHARGED. OPERATING ANY PUMPS FROM A
BATTERY WITH A LOW CHARGE MAY LEAD TO A PUMP FAILURE.
THE RAW WATER SYSTEM MUST BE PROPERLY WINTERIZED PRIOR TO WINTER LAY-
UP. SEE SECTION ON WINTERIZING.
