 Ensure the water is flowing freely from overboard discharge while the
pump is running.
 The speed scoop intake must face forward and not be shared with any
other pump.
 The speed scoop and the shut off valve must be tight and properly
sealed.
 A seawater strainer (3) is mandatory between the shut off valve
(seacock) (1) and the pump (4) to protect the pump from any foreign
matter.
 Ensure access to the filter of the strainer (3).
 The seawater system should be installed
– with an upward incline from the speed scoop and seacock (1),
– through the strainer (3),
– to the inlet of the pump (4) and
– then up to the inlet of the air conditioning unit's condenser coil (5).
 The discharge from the air conditioning unit (5) should run to the sea-
water outlet thru-hull fitting (6) which should be located where it can
be visually checked for water flow and as close as practicable to the
waterline to reduce noise.
 Ensure the hose runs uphill from speed scoop to strainer (3), pump (4)
and air conditioning unit (5).
 Avoid loops, high spots or the use of 90° elbows with seawater hose.
 The air conditioning unit (5) should be installed as low as possible, but
never in the bilge or engine room areas (such as under a V-berth,
dinette seat or bottom of a locker).
 Ensure proper spacing around unit.
 Ensure that the selected location is sealed from direct access to bilge
and/or engine room vapors.
 Mount the unit (5) on a firm, level, horizontal surface.
 Double clamp all hose connections with stainless steel clamps,
reversing the clamps.
 Secure all threaded connections with threaded-sealing tape. Wrap it
only 2 to 3 times around it.
 Tighten one and a half turns beyond hand tight.
