Air Conditioning System
The optional air conditioner uses sea water for cooling. The seacock is located in the
bilge and a strainer is located between the seacock and the cooling (sea water) pump. Do
not operate the unit if cooling water is not flowing or the pump will be damaged. If the
unit fails to cool, inspect the intake and strainer for blockage. Make sure the seacock is
open when in use and closed when not in use. The sea water cooling system may develop
an air lock at high speed or if the boat is removed from the water. An air lock will cause
cooling water to fail to flow through the system. Open the strainer to purge air from the
system and eliminate the air lock. This should be done each time the boat is put in the
water.
