Seawater Strainers
Seawater strainers are used in water pick-up systems to filter incoming seawater. The typical layout is one strainer for
each of the following: Optional generator and optional air conditioning system.
Seawater strainers are located near the system’s seawater intake valves (seacocks) and should be checked every time
you use your boat for leaks and/or debris. 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 intake 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.
Air Conditioning & Heating (Option)
Your boat may be equipped with an optional air conditioning & heating system. For complete operating instructions,
please read the air conditioner’s user manual, provided in your boat’s owner’s packet.
Both heating and cooling are controlled from the same panel.
• Before operating the air conditioning/heating unit, make sure the breaker on the AC main distribution panel is
activated.
• The air conditioning unit’s sump pump system (pump and float switch) can be accessed from under port side
of the V-berth mattress. Periodically clean debris out of the sump pump and test the autofloat switch according
to the bilge pump and autofloat sections of this Supplement.
• Make sure the air conditioning system’s seawater intake valve (seacock) is open before turning on the air
conditioning/heating system.

• FLOODING HAZARD! The intake seacock that sends seawater to the strainer must be
closed before disassembling the seawater strainer to prevent the boat from taking on
water through the seawater strainer assembly. Keep the intake seacock closed until the
seawater strainer is completely reassembled.
• SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD! After reassembling the seawater strainer, verify that the
intake seacock is open before activating the component/system.
