13.5 ENGINE WATER INTAKE VALVE
- The sea water intake plays a major role in keeping the engine running well.
- Keep the filter under the hull as clean as possible;
- Brush the filter whenever the boat is lifted out.
- A seawater filter filters the water before it goes through the heat exchanger.
- Regularly inspect the seawater filter and clean it if necessary. Screw/unscrew the cover of
the filter by hand (never use tools).
- For lengthy absences, close the engine's seawater intake valve.
13.6 FUEL FILTER
Engine running problems may stem from various causes, including dirty fuel. The injection
pump may wear out if there is water in the system. The water results either from condensation
resulting from an insufficiently filled tank, or from a filler cap which has either not been closed
properly or which has a damaged seal.
In order to prevent any water infiltration, the fuel runs through two filters:
- One filter is an integral part of the engine; its role is to filter fuel very finely. Please refer to
the engine manufacturer's notes for any maintenance and for the frequency of filter changes.
- The second filter is on the pipe that links the tank to the engine; it works as a water decanter
and prefilter.
Maintenance
- Purge the impurities by unscrewing the screw located at the base of the decanting bowl
(without removing it). Let the liquid run into a receptacle until the fuel runs clear. Do this several
times a year.
- Change the pre-filter at least once a year.
