Draining the Seawater Section of Models with Closed Cooling
NOTICE
Water trapped in the seawater section of the cooling system can cause corrosion or freeze
damage. Drain the seawater section of the cooling system immediately after operation or before
any length of storage in cold weather. If the boat is in the water, keep the seacock closed until
restarting the engine to prevent water from flowing back into the cooling system. If the boat is
not fitted with a seacock, leave the water inlet hose disconnected and plugged.
NOTE: As a precautionary measure, attach a tag to the key switch or steering wheel of the boat
reminding the operator to open the seacock or unplug and reconnect the water inlet hose before
starting the engine.
1. If draining with the boat in the water, close the seacock (if equipped) or remove and plug the
water inlet hose. If draining with the boat out of the water, place the boat on a level surface to
ensure complete draining of the system.
