Water Strainer
The engine water strainer is a lter for the engine cooling water.
It is recommended for boats that are going to be operated in
weedy conditions or other areas where debris could clog the
engine. It consists of a stainless steel mesh lter inside a clear
cup. It is located between the water intake on the bottom of the
boat and the engine’s raw water pump. It should be checked
periodically for debris as conditions dictate. To remove debris,
unscrew the clear sight cup, remove the o-ring and stainless
steel mesh lter and proceed to rinse out the cup. Be sure to
reinstall the mesh lter and o-ring before reattaching the sight
cup to the inlet.
Water Strainer & Fresh Water Flush
Fresh Water Flush
The Fresh Water Flush kit is a valve specically designed to
allow you to attach a garden hose to your engine water intake
to ush brackish or salt water out of your engine. To use the
Fresh Water Flush, simply attach a garden hose to the valve.
Turn on the water to the valve. Start the engine. Monitor
the exhaust port on the transom of your boat and engine
temperature gauge. Water should come out of the exhaust
port while the engine is running. It is recommended that you
run the engine at a low RPM while ushing, since the engine’s
raw water pump at higher RPMs can pump more water than
the garden hose can supply. If you have questions on the
operation of your Fresh Water Flush kit, consult your Supra
Dealer.
