Thru - hull Location : The system must be connected to a dedicated 1/2” to 3/4” forward
facing scoop - type intake thru - hull and seacock.
Install the thru - hull intake as far below the waterline and as close to centerline as
possible to avoid contamination and air entering the system. Do not install the intake
close to, or downstream of, a head discharge, behind the keel, stabilizer fins, or other
underwater fixtures.
Thru - hulls in the bow area are susceptible to air intake in rough conditions. Sharing a
thru - hull can introduce unforeseen problems such as intermittent flow restrictions, air
bubbles, contaminants, and will void the warranty. For racing boats and high speed
boats traveling above 15 knots, a retractable snorkel - type thru - hull fitting is preferred
because it picks up water away from the hull.
The brine discharge thru - hull should be mounted above the waterline, along or just
above the boot stripe, to minimize water lift and back pressure.
Double clamp all hose connections below the waterline.
Avoid restrictions or long runs on the entire inlet side of the plumbing from the thru - hull
to the feed pump module.
Secure the piping away from moving objects such as engine belts and hatches.
Prevent chafe on the tubing as required. Test and inspect all piping and hose clamps
after several hours of operation.
Pipe Fitting Instructions : To seal plastic - to - plastic fittings, wrap 6 to 8 layers of Teflon
tape over their threads. Hold the fitting in your left hand and tightly wrap the threads
clockwise. For smoother assembly, do not tape the first (starting) threads.
