Section 3 • Systems & Components Overview & Operation
R
Maintenance of the raw water system will require
you to check the fittings and hoses for system
integrity to prevent leaks.
Periodically check the in-
line strainer attached to the
pump, and clean if necessary.
The system should be run
at least every other month
to maintain the pump’s
impellers in a stable operating
condition.
The raw water pump (Figure 2.12.1) can be accessed
through the aft cockpit deck hatch.
ATTENTION
The seacock MUST be in the OPEN position
when washdown is in use. Running the pump
dry may damage the unit.
Operation
Before operating the system make certain the hull
seacock and livewell valve are in the open position.
The hull seacock can be accessed through the aft
cockpit deck hatch.
