SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
• Before using a seawater intake system, make sure that the system's seacock is in the Open
position before the system is started and keep the seacock Open until the system is shut Off.
• Close the seacock whenever the system will not be used for long periods of time.
A seacock is a valve, controlled by a 90º lever, used to manage the intake of seawater through the hull and below the
water line. The seawater intake system used on your boat is for the live well system (if equipped).
Before using this system, make sure that the system's seacock is Open and remains Open until the system is shut Off.
