The following is a summary of the sea water system installation:
1. Install the speed scoop thru-hull inlet as close to the keel and as far below the water line as
possible, facing forward. Bed the scoop with a marine sealant designed for underwater use.
2. Install a bronze, full flow sea cock on the speed scoop thru-hull inlet.
3. Install a sea water strainer below the level of the pump with access to filter.
4. Mount the pump at least one foot below the waterline and above the strainer.
5. Connect the sea cock, strainer and pump with an uphill run of e" reinforced marine grade hose.
6. Connect the discharge from the pump uphill to the bottom inlet of the a/c unit’s condenser coil.
7. Avoid loops, vertical bends (high spots) or the use of 908 elbows with sea water hose.
8. Double clamp all hose connections with stainless steel clamps, reversing the clamps.
9. Use teflon tape on all threaded connections.
10. Connect all metallic parts in contact with sea water to the vessel’s bonding system including
the speed scoop inlet, strainer, pump and the air conditioner.
