Booster Pump is mounted below water level to assist priming, and in an accessible location to allow access for
maintenance. Mount Booster Pump close to the Inlet Thru Hull/ Sea Cock Valve and the Sea Strainer (if
purchased). If the booster pump is mounted vertically, mount the motor up and pump head down. Do not mount
the pump head above the motor else motor damage will occur if the pump or its fittings should develop a leak.
5. The Optional Plankton Filter is mounted inline between the Booster Pump and the Pre Filter. Allow at least 4
inches (10 cm) of clearance below the bowl for element replacement.
6. The Pre-filter is mounted to a bulkhead using the 4 supplied #10 Type "A" 1" long screws. Allow minimum 4

Plumbing Connections
Caution: Always allow slack in water lines. Allow the line to enter or leave from the fitting in a straight manner
for several inches to ensure proper connection, to relieve stress to the fitting and tube or hose, and to allow
ease of detachment and reattachment during maintenance or repair. If water lines are pulled tight causing
them to bend at the fitting they will leak, allow air to enter, fail prematurely, and/or break the fitting that they
are attached to.
