Installation manual Generator Sets GHX / GLX
3 The skin fitting with the sea cock must provide minimum restriction to water flow.
The ball valve is equipped with a lever type handle that operates in a 90 degree arc. This
design gives a clear indication of whether the valve is open or shut. Industry standards/
requirements typically require that the sea cock be rigidly attached to the hull at the
water pickup.
Sea cock location should be readily accessible for quick, easy operation.
NOTE
A through-hull fitting that is completely flush with the
surface of the boat’s hull and without an external strain-
er may be necessary for the engine raw water intake on
very high-speed boats. The protrusion of a standard type
through hull fitting and a strainer can cause a Venturi
effect on the intake of a high speed boat, creating a suc-
tion which works against the raw water pump causing an
inadequate supply of cooling water to the engine.
The capacity of the raw water pump is relat-
ed to suction height and the total head. The
higher the suction height or the total head the
lesser the capacity of the pump will be.
Never exceed the maximum values, as per
table, for the suction height and the total
head.

IMPORTANT
Use a sealant when mounting this skin fitting with the scoop.
3.3.3 Raw water inlet hose
Raw water inlet hose supplied is a wire reinforced hose of adequate wall thickness to prevent it from collapsing from
pump suction. Be sure to secure hose connections with hose clamps. Secure hose to prevent contact with any moving
parts of the engine.
IMPORTANT
The suction hose is to be kept as short as possible. Raw water plumbing should exclude
bends as much as possible.
