z ACCESS TO ENGINES
Access to the engines is through the companionway hatches.
z ENGINE WATER SUCTION INLETS
The water inlet valves are essential for the operation of the engine.
These valves must be open before the engine is started (risk of rapid
deterioration of the exhaust pipe and of major damage to the engine).
- Keep the strainer under the hull as clean as possible.
- Brush the strainer when the boat is hauled.
- Do not cover the strainer with antifouling paint.
RECOMMENDATION: Get into the habit of checking immediately after
starting the engine that water is expelled with the exhaust gases.
If no water is expelled:
- Stop the engine immediately.
- Check that the valve is open.
Close the water inlet valve if the boat is left unattended for a
prolonged period.
Inspect and clean the water filter regularly.
