8Cleaning the strainer

Close the seacock before removing the lid of the water strainer.

Clean the raw water strainer as often as is necessary, depending on the pollution of the waterways, but at least once every 6 months. A clogged raw water strainer will result in excessive temperatures or overheating of the engine coolant. Check the sealing between the lid and housing after cleaning and re-assembling the strainer. An improperly sealed lid will result in air sucked in by the sea water pump which again will result in overheating of the engine.
