14.5 ENGINE WATER INTAKE VALVE
The seawater intake valve plays a crucial role in ensuring that the engine runs well.
- Keep the filter under the hull as clean as possible;
- Brush the filter whenever the boat is lifted out.
This valve must absolutely always be opened before starting the engine.
A seawater filter filters the water before it goes through the heat exchanger.
Regularly inspect the seawater filter and clean it if necessary. Screw/unscrew the cover of the filter by hand (never use tools).
For lengthy absences, close the engine's seawater intake valve.
