Sea Strainer Cleaning and Seacocks

                   

The sea strainers on this boat are secure and reliable.  They protect the engine, 

generator and refrigeration cooling systems from water-borne debris which 

might block internal equipment passages. If a sea strainer needs cleaning (see 

above regarding inspection) here is the procedure:

1.  Look at top of the strainer. Visually look for debris. On the hose that is 

on the intake side of strainer is a valve lever with a relatively long yellow 

handle (sea cock) Turn the valve lever so it is perpendicular to the hose 

to close the sea cock.

2.  Open the lever on the top of the strainer. Clean the debris out of 

the basket and replace back into the housing. Close the lever on the 

stainless steel ring.

3.  TURN THE VALVE BACK ON!  

(parallel to the hose) — failure to do so will 

overheat the engine. 

 

This entire operation will take 5-10 minutes at most, and will assure you of cool 

engines.

Trim Tabs 

“Grey Lady”

 is equipped with a trim tab system operated by a trim tab panel 

at the helm.  Once the boat is on a plane the trim tab system can be 

activated. The trim tabs are used to bring the bow down and to level the 

vessel when under way. Make sure the trim tabs are in the “up” position 

when slow speed maneuvering and docking. The best way to adjust the 

trim tabs is to lower them while watching the “speed” indicator. Adjust 

the ‘bow down” until the highest speed is attained. Too much “bow 

down” and the steering gets mushy and the speed may drop. 

Alarms

There are two alarm systems on “

Grey Lady

”.

Under the wheel at the helm are two round units that will have an audible alarm and or flashing light. 

The top one is for the high water alert if the bilges become full of water. 

The lower alarm is the 

SeaFire 

fire extinguishing system. If it is discharged in the engine compartment it will flash and 

give an audible alarm.

The lower round panel has a “silence” mode button on it.

BBQ

The BBQ is stored in the engine 

compartment until it is needed for use. 

The mount on the port aft rail has a latch 

to secure the unit. Green Propane bottles 
are stowed in the cockpit locker.
