General Cooling System Information
Mercury MerCruiser engines come equipped with either standard cooling or closed cooling. On engines with standard cooling,
the engine is cooled entirely by seawater (the water in which the boat is being operated). Closed‑cooling systems use two
cooling circuits, one of which uses seawater similarly to standard cooing. The second circuit uses a mixture of freshwater and
coolant/antifreeze.
The cooling system must receive a sufficient amount of seawater under all operating conditions. The design and installation of
the seawater supply system is the boat manufacturer's responsibility.
NOTICE
Without sufficient cooling water, the engine, the water pump, and other components will overheat and suffer damage. Provide
a sufficient supply of water to the water inlets during operation.
Seawater Inlet Hose
•
Use a 32 mm (1‑1/4 in.) I.D. wire‑reinforced hose that is capable of supporting 10 in. Hg vacuum to prevent the seawater
inlet hose from collapsing from the seawater pump suction.
•
The hose should be oil and seawater resistant.
•
Use the shortest hose length possible with minimal bends to maximize flow.
•
All connections must be secured with hose clamps.
•
Fasten the hoses to maintain proper routing and to prevent chafing or contact with other moving parts.
