Seacock strainer
The seacock strainer must be cleaned regularly, especially if there is a large amount of small debris in the
water.
Corrosion
This can occur when two different metals are in contact near to, or in, sea water. For example, a brass or bronze
pipe tted into aluminium can cause rapid corrosion. For this reason, special precautions are necessary when
an engine is installed. In this situation, some components will be connected to a sacricial anode tted to the
hull. Specialist manufacturers will advise on the maintenance of these anodes.
