BOW
STERN
25 cm
A - The pump should be installed with the shaft in
horizontal position and the water outlet at top. The
centrifugal pump must be installed at least 0,50 m
below the water line.
B - The water intake must be "scoop" type, oriented
forward.
C - Seacock, strainer and pump intake should be
connected without siphoning; the piping should
always rise from seacock to the pump.
D - The intake line should be as short as possible (it
is very difficult to run a good circuit with an intake
piping longer than 1 m).
E - The outlet line of the pump should rise at least
for 25 cm (10 in.) just after the pump outlet in order
to keep the pump primed at all times.
