Engine Cooling
Make sure that engine cooling water is owing throughout the system. On the port side of the engine
compartment, there is an external water pickup for cooling the engine. Prior to starng the engine,
make sure that the seacock is opened and water is throughout the system. FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE.
Check the system to make sure that the seawater strainer is clear and free of any debris. To clean the
seawater strainer:
1. Close the seacock so that no water will enter the strainer.
2. On the top of the strainer, rotate the clear top counter-clockwise.
3. Remove the basket and debris in the strainer. Flush the basket and strainer with clean water.
4. Re-install the strainer element and grease the O-rings.
5. Secure the lid. Never use tools for ghtening the lid.
6. Check to make sure that the lid is installed properly. An improperly sealed lid will result in air
being sucked in by the seawater pump, and could result in overheang the generator.
Exhaust System
The generator is equipped with a thru hull exhaust system with an inline water li muer located on
the port side of the boat. Water from the cooling system mixes with the exhaust in the engine elbow.
It is then pumped through the muer and then overboard through the exhaust outlet.
