    Raw Water System Seawater is supplied to the pump from a thru hull fitting located in the stern bilge. A sea strainer be- tween the pump and thru hull fitting protects the system from contaminants that could damage the pump or the air conditioning system. Make sure the pump receives adequate seawater by periodically cleaning the sea strainer.
