Engine Seacocks and Strainers It is a very important function for your main engines to remain a specific temperature when operating This is done with the aid of raw water from the main engine seacocks Heat from the closed cooling system on the engines is transferred to the cooler seawater through heat exchangers inside the engine The raw water is then discharged through the exhaust To clean your main engine strainer first close the main engine seacock remove the top cover on the strainer remove the screen and clean Always ensure engine or generator seacocks or intakes are open before starting Failure to do so could overheat and a damage these components Before re installing the cap onto the strainer check the 9 5 tenance of this system can be found in the Waste and Sanitation chapter Chapter 10 of your Operator s Manual 9 4 Pickups and Strainers There are various pickups and strainers installed aboard your boat Here we will discuss the pick ups and strainers associated with the water systems 9 4 1 Pick ups Pick ups or through hulls are placed in various locations in the hull of your boat The intakes usually have a ball type valve which controls the flow of raw sea water to the spe cific component or system associated with the pick up It is very important that you ensure that the intake valve is open before using a raw water supplied sys tem Failure to do so could damage or break down a system

Keep the bow higher than the stern every time the boat is lifted Do not lift the stern to change a propeller Doing so can cause water to enter the engine Engine failure is possible water enters the engine cylinders This water can cause hydrolock and bend the piston rods Even a small amount of water can cause rust or other damage 14 6 3 Draining Your Boat Your boat has bilge pumps for draining water from the bilges Some compartments in the bilge may not drain completely because of the position of the boat Pump these compartments out then use a sponge to remove all remaining water Procedures for draining and winterizing the fresh water system are in this section under the Preparing for Storage heading 14 6 2 Preparing for Storage Clean scrub and sponge the hull and deck as soon as the boat is pulled from the water and is still in the sling Cleaning marine growth from the hull is easier when it is still wet Clean the inside of all hull openings through hull fit tings and screens Inspect the hull and underwater gear for signs of wear deterioration or damage Note any damage to the propulsion equipment helm area cabin etc Make repairs if at all possible before covering your boat Fill the fuel tanks with treated fuel to prevent conden sation If you use a stabilizer or conditioner be sure to follow the instructions on the container Important Do not overfill fuel tanks so fuel flows from th
