3.4.7 Waterlock capacity
NOTE
The waterlock is sized to hold multiples of the volume of water that spills back from the
exhaust highest point when the engine shuts o.
IMPORTANT
Prolonged cranking of the starter may cause excessive sea water to build up between
the engine and the high point.
Each time cranking is interrupted additional water may spill back into the muer. In time this cumulative spill back can
ood the engine. Unusual cranking and/or cranking interruptions must be monitored and the muer drained before
excessive water build-up occurs. This may be made more convenient by installing a suitable, non-corrosive valve at the
muer drain tting.
