be on board. The old pump can be sent back to Fischer
Panda, where it is then economically overhauled completely.

If the generator can not be attached at least 600 mm over the
waterline, a vent valve must be installed into the seawater
line. With location beside the "midship line" a possible hee-
ling must be considered! The water hose for the external vent
valve at the back of the sound insulated capsule splits on the
pressure side of the pump and at both ends in each case
extended with a connecting nipple by a hose end. Both hose
ends must be led out outside of the sound insulated capsule
to one point, if possible 600 mm over the waterline in the
midship line. The valve is connected at the highest place with
the two hose ends. If the valve is blocked, the cooling water
pipe cannot be ventilated after the stop of the generator, the
water column is not interrupted and the water can penetrate
into the combustion chamber of the engine. This leads to the
destruction of the engine!
