Seawater Systems

Seacocks

Thru-hull inlet or outlet fittings near or below the waterline fea-

ture seacock valves. You can close a seacock to stop water entry:

• If the hose connected to the seacock fails, or;

• To work on equipment served by the seacock.

Seacocks are used on your boat in seawater intake or liquid-dis-

charge systems including, but not limited to:

• Livewell (if equipped)

Before using any system with a seacock, make sure the seacock is

Open and stays Open until the system is shut Off.

Seawater Strainers

• Seawater strainers are used to filter incoming seawater in some seawater intake systems. NOTE: Not all seawater

intake systems have seawater strainers.

• If equipped, the seawater strainer is located near the seawater intake system’s seacock.

• Check the strainers for leaks and/or debris every time you use your boat.

• Refer to the seawater strainer instruction sheet for cleaning and maintenance information.

FLOODING and SWAMPING HAZARD!

• Close the seacock(s) when leaving your boat unattended for any length of time.

• If a seacock is left open, a hose failure could flood the bilge, swamp the batteries, and even

sink your boat.

WARNING!

SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!

• BEFORE using any system that has a seacock, make sure that the system’s seacock is Open.

• Inspect and lubricate all seacocks annually.
