Fuel system maintenance
•
Replace the filter of the engine fuel system following the directions in the use and
maintenance booklet, delivered separately. The same instructions are valid for the
additional filter too.
•
When filling the fuel tank, it is advisable to use a funnel equipped with a mesh filter.
Engine water cooling system
•
The engine cooling system is of fresh water indirect type, sealed, with an expansion tank
and a sea water cooled heat exchanger. The expansion tank is located in the container above
the engine (the same container of the water heater).

The sea water is sucked through appropriate holes in the S-Drive step and the stop cock is
located on the left side of the reverse gear. This tap is accessible by opening the hatch
located down in the port aft cabin (see page 90).
•
Then, the sea water flows through the filter located immediately ahead of the engine and
accessible by lifting the access ladder.
•
Passing through the filter the sea water reaches the engine pump, then flows through the
engine heat exchanger and it is finally discharged together with the exhaust emission.
•
The antisiphon located at the engine cooling water exit, is fixed on the bulkhead in the
container above the engine (the same container of the water heater), immediately abaft the
access opening. This antisiphon, consisting of a stainless steel goose-neck pipe-fitting at
180°, is connected by a small pipe to a drain scupper located on the port aft side of the hull
(the same scupper of the manual bilge pump): in this way, it “opens” the system and
prevents water from returning to the engine.
•
Before starting the engine, we recommend you to always make sure that the engine
cooling water seacock is open.
Engine water cooling system maintenance
•
Clean frequently the sea water filter according to the engine use and the navigation
water cleanliness.
•
Check frequently the proper functioning of the antisiphon located in the engine sea water
cooling system. If clogged or malfunctioning, replace it.
•
As far as the engine is concerned, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions manual delivered
separately.
