(or thru hull) (See Underwater Gear for its location), a sea
strainer, an A/C cooling pump, and the major compres-
sors and air handlers.
To find the A/C cooling pumps’ location refer to the
arrangement illustration at the end of this chapter or the
Mechanical Arrangement at the end of the Boating Safety
Chapter.
The A/C cooling pump receives sea water from the pick-
up strainer and pumps it through the A/C compressor to
cool the compressor.
See the AC Electric Section for an explanation of the
electrical controls of this system.
9.3.4.1 To operate the air conditioner:
Refer to Chapter 8 AC Electric for air conditioner operat-
ing.
9.3.3 Toilet Water Supply
The toilet aboard your boat is supplied with flushing water
from the fresh water system (Electric toilet option only).
Standard tiolet use raw water.
More information concerning the operation and main-
tenance of this system can be found in the Waste
and Sanitation chapter, Chapter 10 of your Operator’s
Manual.
9.3 Pickups and Strainers
There are various pickups and strainers installed
aboard your boat. Here we will discuss the pick-ups
and strainers associated with the water systems.
9.4.1 Pick-ups
Pick-ups, or through hulls are placed in various locations
in the hull of your boat. The intakes usually have a ball type
valve which controls the flow of raw sea water to the spe-
cific component, or system associated with the pick-up.
CAUTION
! !
It is very important that you ensure that the intake
valve is open before using a raw water supplied sys-
tem. Failure to do so could damage or break down a
system or component.
9.4.2 Strainers
Your boat is equipped with strainers that strain the raw
water taken in the thru hulls or pickups for objects that
could damage the impeller or pump equipment. Strainers
are equipped with a screen or a filter inside that collect
objects taken in. They must be cleaned as part of routine
maintenance.
To clean a strainer, first, make sure that the supply valve
is in the Off or closed position. Failure to close the intake
or seacock could result in a flooded boat. Next, remove
the “collector” or glass encasement that houses the
screen. Remove any objects collected inside and wash
the screen.
9.4.3 A/C Pickup and Strainer (Air Conditioning
Option)
At the end of this section, you will find an illustration of the
A/C cooling water arrangement. It is important to always
ensure that the intake valve (see mechanical arrange-
ment in the Boating Safety Chapter, as well) is always
open before using the A/C System. In the pumps sub-
section of this chapter you will see the image of these
components. Fig. 9.2.
If you purchased your boat with the air conditioning
option, you will find the documentation for the operation
of this system in the owner’s packet of the manufacturer’s
owner’s/operator’s manuals.
9.4.4 Generator Cooling Pickup and Strainer
(Generator Option)
The generator is an engine and, just like the main
engines, requires cooling water. Water is supplied to the
generator through the intake and strainer located just
