3. Make sure the raw water seacock is closed. Remove and clean the raw water lter.
4. Reinstall the seawater lter and open the seacock. If the lter leaks when the seacock is opened, close the seacock
and check the lter for the correct installation.
5. Open the seacock to supply the seawater to the washdown pump.
6. Switch ON the WASHDOWN PUMP circuit breaker located on the DC control center.
The raw water washdown pump, when activated, creates pressure in the raw water washdown system. When the hose
nozzle is closed, water pressure within the system increases to the design specications. Once the pressure is reached,
the pump automatically shuts off. When the hose nozzle is open and water is released from the system, the pressure in the
system decreases. When the pressure decreases to the manufacturer’s design level, the pump automatically turns ON and
increases the pressure. The system settings ensure a steady ow of water every time the raw water washdown is used.

WARNING
NEVER ALLOW FLAMMABLE MATERIALS TO CONTACT HOT PROPULSION PARTS. FIRE AND EXPLOSION MAY OCCUR.
OVERVIEW
Propulsion System on page 76 covers the standard Carver factory-installed diesel engines and the optional Carver
factory-installed diesel engines. It covers the engines and the engine’s attributing components in the engine room and the
components at the helm.
DIESEL EXHAUST SYSTEM
The exhaust system for each engine consists of an exhaust manifold, exhaust piping, and the exhaust hoses used to vent
the exhaust overboard. Carbon monoxide may escape and endanger everyone onboard if the exhaust system contains
leaks or obstructions, or if any other problem that exists prevents the system from venting exhaust properly. Check the
exhaust system regularly for proper operation. Change in engine noise could indicate an exhaust system problem and
should immediately be investigated.
DIESEL ENGINE AND GENERATOR FUEL SYSTEM
FUEL LINES
To avoid damage to the fuel lines, make sure that the fuel lines are sealed, clamped and intact.
FUEL TANKS
Two tanks are installed onboard to create a combined fuel amount of 342 gal (1,295 L). A maximum of 171 gal (647 L) of
fuel can be stored in each fuel tank. The fuel system meets or exceeds the standards set by the U.S. Coast Guard, National
Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), and the American Boat and Yacht Council at the time when the yacht was built.
Each fuel tank has passed rigorous tests performed by the tank manufacturer. The entire fuel system has passed Carver’s
pressure testing and inspection. Your Carver dealer also makes a full inspection of the fuel system before the yacht is
delivered to the owner. An entry on the Carver pre-delivery service record veries the dealer’s completion of the inspection.
NOTICE: Over time, water can condense inside the fuel tanks, especially in areas with high humidity. The condensation
can react with the fuel in the tanks to create a mixture that can corrode the tanks from the inside.
AVOIDING TANK CORROSION
• Use the fuel in the fuel tanks as often and as completely as possible.
• Keep the tanks full of fuel when the boat is stored and when it is used infrequently.
