How to clean the strainer for the raw water pump
The strainer for the raw water pump is tted in the outlet hose for the raw water pump. The purpose of the
strainer is to protect the engine heat exchanger from debris.

2. Release the hose clip at the connection (A1) of the raw water pump and on each side of the strainer (A3).
Remove the hose (A2). This illustration shows a typical example.
3. Remove the strainer and wash it in clean water. If there is debris in the strainer from the impeller of the
raw water pump, check the impeller, see page 19.
4. Put the strainer into position and t the hose. Tighten the hose clips.
5. Open the sea cock.
