Seawater System, Draining
The seawater system must be drained in cold weather,
if there is a risk of frost, to prevent frost damage.
WARNING!
Risk of water entry. Close the seawater cocks before
doing any work on the seawater system.
An alternative to draining is to keep the engine bay
above freezing temperature, by means of a fan heater
which is approved for outdoor use.
1 Close the sea cock.
2 Connect a hose to each drain tap before opening
the tap (one at a time).
3 Open the drain taps/remove the drain plugs (S) and
allow the water to run out.
Drain points:
- tap under the heat exchanger
- tap above seawater pump
- plug below seawater pump
IMPORTANT:
Check that all water really does drain out. Deposits
may need to be cleared away, inside the drain plug/
tap.
4 Also drain/empty any auxiliary equipment such as
the seawater filter etc.
5 Close/install all drain taps and plugs before you
leave the boat.
