The raw water cooling system for each engine and the generator must be drained

storage. See chapter 3 for raw water system components.
To drain the cooling systems:

2. Drain the raw water intake strainer.
3.
Remove and clean the strainer filter.
4. Disconnect the hoses, if necessary, to remove all water.
5. Reconnect all hoses and reassemble the strainer.
Repeat this procedure for each engine and the generator.
Consult the engine and generator user manual for more information on recom-
mended winterization procedures.
To drain the raw water washdown system:
1. Connect the hose to the raw water washdown connection inside the water
connection locker.
2. Ensure the end of the hose is open, or open the spray nozzle if installed.
3. Open the raw water washdown seacock in the engine room.
4. Disconnect the hoses from the intake and outlet sides of the pump and let
the water drain out. Use compressed air, if necessary, to remove all the
water.
5. Run the pump for 3-5 seconds to remove all water from the pump body.
6. Lubricate the pump impeller per instructions in the pump’s user manual.
7. Reconnect all hoses and tighten the clamps securely.
