Cleaning the raw water
filter
A raw water filter must be fitted be-
tween the raw water intake and the
raw water pump of the engine.
The model of prefilter can vary ac-
cording the boat as the raw water
filter is an optional extra not in the
scope of supply of the engine.
These instructions are given as an
example only.
Check the raw water filter more
regularly than indicated in the serv-
ice schedule if the boat is used in
water with lot of dirt and/or mud.
To clean the filter:
1. Stop the engine, remove the
key from the panel and close the
sea cock.
2. Check the condition of the
raw water filter. If deposits have
formed, screw off cover and re-
move seal plate.
3. Remove all the contaminants.
Rinse the filter and the housing
with fresh water and check the
condition of the seal.
4. Reinstall all the components
and open the sea cock. Start the
engine and check for leaks.
NOTICE: When the boat is out of
water, check that the through-hull is
not obstructed by mud or algae.
