9.4.2  Strainers

Your boat is equipped with strainers that strain the raw 
water taken in the thru hulls or pickups for objects that 
could damage the impeller or pump equipment.  Strainers
are equipped with a screen or a filter inside that collect 
objects taken in. They must be cleaned as part of routine
maintenance.

To clean a strainer, first, make sure that the supply valve
is in the Off or closed position.  Failure to close the intake
or seacock could result in a flooded boat.  Next, remove
the “collector” or glass encasement that houses the 
screen.  Remove any objects collected inside and wash
the screen.

Option)

up strainer and pumps it through the A/C compressor to
cool the compressor.

See the AC Electric Section  for an explanation of the
electrical controls of this system.

9.3.4.1  To operate the air conditioner:

1.  Open the air conditioner seacock. The valve is open
when its handle is in line with the hose. The seacock is
located to the aft bilge compartment, aft of the A/C pump,
in the bilge. 

2. Check the strainer. Clean if necessary to assure a 
steady flow of water to the unit.

3. Set the thermostat to the temperature desired. The
thermostat is located next to the MDP.

Important: Be sure to close air conditioner seacock 
when the air conditioner is not in use. Refer to the man-
ufacturer’s owner’s manual furnished with the air con-
ditioner for more information regarding its operation.

9.3.3 Toilet water supply

The toilet aboard your boat is supplied with flushing water 
from the fresh water system. 

More information concerning the operation and main-
tenance of this system can be found in the Waste
and  Sanitation chapter, Chapter 10 of  your  Operator’s
Manual.

9.4  Pickups and Strainers

There are various pickups and strainers installed 
aboard  your boat. Here we will discuss the pick-ups 
and strainers associated  with  the water systems.

9.4.1 Pick-ups

Pick-ups, or through hulls are placed in various locations
in the hull of your boat. The intakes usually have a ball type 
valve which controls the flow of raw sea water to the spe-
cific component, or system associated with the pick-up. 

CAUTION

!

!

It is very important that you ensure that the intake 

valve is open before using a raw water supplied sys-

tem. Failure to do so could damage or break down a
