6.5 Raw Water System Maintenance
The following items should be done routinely to help maintain
your raw water system:
Check hoses, particularly the sea water supply lines, for
signs of deterioration.
Periodically remove and clean the sea water strainers for
the air conditioners and optional freezer. To clean the
strainers, Turn off the air conditioners and freezer. Close
the water intake valve then open the top of each strainer and
remove the screen. Thoroughly flush the screen and the
inside of the strainer to remove foreign matter.
Lubricate
the seal and reassemble the strainer making sure that all
fasteners are tight. Then open the intake valve and start
the air conditioner and freezer and inspect the strainer for
leaks.
Periodically remove and clean the water strainer located
near the intake side of the washdown and livewell pumps.
To clean the strainer, make sure the Washdown and
Livewell Breakers on the DC panel are off. Close the
thru-valves and loosen the fitting for the intake line and
remove the line from the strainer. Rotate the wing lever on
the strainer cap 1/4 turn to release it. Remove and clean
the screen with freshwater. Lubricate the O-ring lightly
with petroleum jelly when reinstalling the cap. Open the
thru-valve and check for leaks.
Spray pumps and thru-hull valves with a protective oil
periodically.
The fishboxes and livewells should be drained and cleaned
after each use.
Operate all thru-hull valves at least once a month to keep
them operating properly.
SHOULD A HOSE RUPTURE, TURN THE PUMP OFF
IMMEDIATELY. ALWAYS CLOSE THE THRU-HULL
VALVE WHEN PERFORMING MAINTENANCE ON A
SEA WATER PUMP.
THE BATTERIES MUST BE PROPERLY CHARGED.
OPERATING ANY PUMPS FROM A BATTERY WITH A
LOW CHARGE MAY LEAD TO A PUMP FAILURE.
THE RAW WATER SYSTEM MUST BE PROPERLY
WINTERIZED PRIOR TO WINTER LAY-UP. SEE
SECTION ON WINTERIZING.
DO NOT RUN THE WASHDOWN OR LIVEWELL
PUMPS DRY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AS
DAMAGE TO THE PUMP WILL RESULT.
