Quicksilver 905WE — System & Component Overview and Operation
Check the system to make sure that the seawater strainer is clear and free of any debris. To clean the
seawater strainer:
1. Close the seacock so that no water will enter the strainer.
2. On the top of the strainer, rotate the clear top counter - clockwise.
3. Remove the basket and debris in the strainer. Flush the basket and strainer with clean water.
4. Re - install the strainer element and grease the O - rings.
5. Secure the lid. Never use tools for tightening the lid.
6. Check to make sure that the lid is installed properly. An improperly sealed lid will result in air
being sucked in by the seawater pump, and could result in overheating the generator.
Exhaust System
The generator is equipped with a thru hull exhaust system with an inline water lift muffler located on
the port side of the boat. Water from the cooling system mixes with the exhaust in the engine elbow.
It is then pumped through the muffler and then overboard through the exhaust outlet.
Petrol Generator
Generator Starting Procedure
Refer to the generator owner’s manual for instructions on startup procedure. The following are key
points to be aware of when starting the generator:
1. Operate the blower for four minutes and manually check the bilge for fuel or fuel vapor.
2. Make sure that the generator cooling seacock is opened, and check for water in the strainer.
To start the generator, quickly depress and release the generator START button, located on
the remote start panel in the forward berth. The generator will go through an automatic
startup cycle in approximately four to five seconds. DO NOT PRESS THE START BUTTON MORE
THAN ONE TIME.
