Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
MAINTENANCE (INTERIOR)
AIR CONDITIONER:
It is a good idea to inspect the thru-hull fitting for leaks
before each outing and to make sure the seacock is open.
Also, the sea water strainer located in the bilge should be
checked periodically for foreign objects clogging the
strainer. To clean the stainer, unscrew the seacock
fasteners, remove the wire strainer, and blow it out if
possible with compressed air. Reinstall the strainer, making
sure the gasket on the top of the seacock is centered.
Then tighten the fasteners. Check for leaks since sucking
air into the system could cause the seawater pump to
malfunction.
The air conditioner filter may be located in the return air
grill framework or in some cases, on the a/c unit itself.
Inspect the filter monthly. To clean the filter remove it
and rinse with clean water. See the equipment operation
chapter for more information.
Check the a/c hose output located on the hull side . Make
sure there is a full discharge when the a/c pump is running.
If there is little or no discharge shutdown the unit and
find the cause of the problem immediately.

measure accumulated levels. Normal maintenance should
include frequent checking for the green power light
glowing with the warning indicator and audible horn off.
Each detector should be returned to the manufacturer each
year for recertification. Refer to the owner’s document box
and chapter 1 for more information.
