Thru-Hull Inlet Fitting

1. Problem: Flat profile Inlet Thru Hull Fitting
a. Description: System runs properly at anchor; however, when underway, the System shuts off due to low
pressure or low feed water flow. A flat profile Inlet Thru Hull Fitting is causing a vacuum at the System s
feed line, thereby cavitating and reducing the efficiency of the Booster Pump. This results in low feed water
pressure and low feed water flow.
b. Solution: Change the flat profile Thru Hull Fitting to a forward facing scoop.
2. Problem: Debris is blocking the Inlet Thru Hull Fitting
a. Description: System feed water pressure is low and insufficient to keep the System in operation. Marine
growth or debris (e.g. a plastic bag or rag) covering the Inlet Thru-Hull Fitting is causing a vacuum at the
System s feed line, thereby cavitating and reducing the efficiency of the Booster Pump. This results in low
feed water pressure and low feed water flow.
b. Solution: Clean all marine growth and debris from the Inlet Thru-Hull Fitting.
3. Problem: System is newly installed and operation is being performed for the first time. The feed water
pressure is low and insufficient to keep the System in operation.
a. Description: A new ship, or newly installed System, may have protective shipping tape covering the Inlet
Thru-Hull Fitting. A new ship, or newly installed System, may also have manufacturing debris (such as
caulking) blocking the Inlet Thru Hull. Lastly, a new Inlet Thru-Hull Fitting may have casting slag (that which
has not been machined off) partially covering the "fingers" or inside of the fitting.
b. Solution: Inspect the Inlet Thru-Hull Fitting and clean all manufacturing debris and casting slag from the
fitting.

Sea Cock Valve

1. Problem: The Sea Cock Valve is closed when attempting to start the System.
a. Description: The System does not register feed-water flow and feed-water pressure when attempting to
start. An error screen appears and the System shuts down. When the System is not in use, it is good practice
(for the safety of the ship) to close the Sea Cock Valve. Don t forget to open it prior to starting the System.
b. Solution: Open the Sea Cock Valve.
2. Problem: The Sea Cock Valve seal is worn or the seal is loose, causing air to enter the System Feed
Line.
a. Description: System feed water pressure is low and insufficient to keep the System in operation. This section
of the Feed Line is under a vacuum condition when the System is in operation. If the valve s seal is worn or
loose, air can enter the feed line causing the System to lose pressure. Look for air bubbles moving through
the Sea Strainer or feed line.
b. Solution: Change the valve seals, tighten them, or replace the valve (if necessary).
