Never run the engine if the boat is dry-docked.
ENGINE SEA VALVE
The engine sea valve ensures a critical duty in the engine operation and, therefore, the
strainer must be brushed whenever the ship is docked and kept clean and free from clog-
ging or anti-fouling paint.
The sea valve must be open before starting the engine, otherwise the exhaust and the
engine may incur severe damages.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Good practice requires to check if water is expelled together with the exhaust gases,
immediately after starting the engine; otherwise, stop the engine immediately and
check the valve for cleanliness.
It's not necessary to shut the valve after each use of the engine; on the other hand, this
is mandatory if the boat remains unmanned for a long period of time.
Check and clean the water filter regularly.
