Inboard engines use a thru-hull water intake scoop and strainer.

This strainer is located on the hull bottom and must be kept

free of mud, weeds and other debris. A ball valve is provided

on each intake thru-hull. Be sure these valves are in the open

position before operating the boat engines.

The strainers should be visually inspected each time the boat

is hauled for accumulation of marine growth, weeds, and

other foreign objects. If clogged or dirty, the strainer should

be cleaned.

A CLOGGED SEA STRAINER CAN RESTRICT THE

SUPPLY OF COOLING WATER TO THE ENGINE AND

EXHAUST COMPONENTS, WHICH COULD RESULT

IN SEVERE ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM

DAMAGE.

Cleaning the sea strainers

• Make sure the boat is properly blocked and supported.

• Remove the safety ring and clevis pin at the rear of the

strainer.

• Open the access door and remove debris or marine growth.

Thoroughly ﬂush the screen and the inside of the strainer

to remove foreign matter.

• Close the access door and install the clevis pin and safety

ring.

SHOULD AN ENGINE INTAKE, EXHAUST OR

COOLING HOSE RUPTURE, TURN OFF THE

ENGINE AND CLOSE THE ENGINE WATER INTAKE

VALVE IMMEDIATELY. PROCEED, UNDER TOW

IF NECESSARY, TO A SERVICE FACILITY FOR

APPROPRIATE REPAIRS. MAINTAIN A CLOSE

VISUAL WATCH ON THE PROBLEM HOSE AND THE

BILGE WATER LEVEL.

Inboard boats utilize an exhaust hose to relinquish cooling

water. A periodic inspection of the hose, mufﬂers and related

parts should be made to ensure that leaks or heat deterioration

have not resulted.

A “freshwater” or “closed” cooling system that is cooled by

a heat exchanger and the seawater cooling system provides

adequate engine cooling without exposing the internal engine

cooling system to the harmful effects of surface water. This

system is standard with all diesel engines. The engine owner’s

manual provides additional information regarding the service

and maintenance of this equipment.

1.5 Oil Change Pump

Your boat is equipped with an oil change pump system designed

to change and ﬁll the engine oil in the main engines and the

generator. It is mounted in the engine compartment aft of the

starboard engine.

The system is designed with a manifold system that enables one

pump to service multiple engines. Oil hoses are run from the

engine oil pan ﬁtting directly to valves on the manifold. The

valves are labeled and are used select the engine to be serviced.

The reversible pump is controlled by a switch near the valves.

In one direction it will pump oil out of the engines. In the other

direction it will pump fresh oil into the engines.

Draining Oil from Engines

Place the drain/ ﬁll hose in an empty container. Open the valve

on the manifold which connects to the engine to be serviced.

Switch the pump to draw oil from the engine. (Push the switch

away from manifold) Repeat this process for each engine or

generator to be serviced.
