3 Raw water cooling system
Close the seacock before removing the lid
of the water strainer. If necessary, clean
the raw water strainer.
Pour 1 litre (1/4 Imp.gal.) of anti-freeze into
the water strainer and run the engine until
the anti-freeze has disappeared into the
cooling system.
Take care that no anti-freeze is spilled into
the waterway (anti-freeze is poisonous).
Check the seal between the lid and hous-
ing after cleaning and re-assembling the
strainer.
An improperly sealed lid will result in air
sucked in by the raw water pump which
again will result in overheating of the
engine.
