The generator engine uses a seawater cooling system . The cooling system includes a strainer that prevents
debris in the seawater from entering the cooling system’s water pump . Refer to Section 9: Engine Room for the
exact location of the strainer
STEp 3: Reinstall the strainer . If the strainer leaks when the seacock is opened; close the seacock, then check the strainer
for correct installation .
A Tip From Carver!
dedicating a 12-volt battery to the generator provides an important safety feature. a dedicated battery enables you to
start the generator regardless of the condition of the propulsion engine batteries. if the batteries become discharged to
the point where they are unable to start an engine: start the generator, then turn on the engine battery chargers. when
the engine batteries are recharged to an adequate level, you can start the propulsion engines.
