Seawater Strainer
Your engine may be fitted with an optional seawater
strainer.
The seawater strainer is mounted above the heat
exchanger, on the left front corner of the engine. There
are two mounting options; side or front.
The strainer prevents seaweed, eel grass, and other
debris from entering the cooling system with the
cooling water. Without a strainer, this debris could
block the cooling system, particularly the heat
exchanger, and cause engine overheating.
If your engine does not have a strainer, and you
operate in areas where this type debris is common, see
your Volvo Penta dealer about installing a seawater
strainer.
If experiencing an overheat condition or fault code,
check the strainer as part of troubleshooting.
Service
1 Unscrew the cover A and remove the sealing
plate B and seal C.
2 Lift out the basket D and clean out all debris.
3 Check for debris on the intake side of the strainer,
clear if present.
4 Reassemble the parts as shown.
NOTICE! Make sure the strainer is reassembled
correctly; seal and plate in place, cover screwed down
tightly. If not, air will be drawn in to the cooling water,
which can cause an overheat situation.
The strainer should be checked before each trip,
especially in areas with high amounts of debris in the
water.
