Installation manual

COOLING SYSTEM
Raw Water Intake Strainer
NOTE: Always install the strainer at or below the waterline so
the strainer will always be self-priming.
A clean raw water intake strainer is a vital component of the
engine's cooling system. Include a visual inspection
of this
strainer when making your periodic engine check. The water
in the glass should be clear.
Perform the following maintenance after every
100 hours of
operation:
1. Close the raw water seacock.
2. Remove and clean the strainer filter.
3. Clean the glass.
4. Replace the washer if necessary.
5. Reassemble and install the strainer.
6. Open the seacock.
7. Run the engine and check for leaks.
NOTE: Also follow the above procedure after having run hard
aground.
If the engine temperature gauge ever shows a higher than
normal reading, the cause may be that silt, leaves or grass
may have been caught up in the strainer, slowing the
flow of
raw water through the cooling system.
