sea strainer
I have a small leak that fills the bilge about 1 1/2" every time a put
the boat in the water (and stops leaking), and I discovered the sea strainer has a crack. I will appreciate if anyone can help me with the following question: My manual says the sea strainer is "AC only" so I believe is to be used when I'm docked,but I suspect the leak comes from the sea strainer, if I don't have a use for it I'd rather like to remove it from the boat. What is a "sea strainer" for?. thanks. Miguel |
sea strainer
Most common use is on the intake side of your engine or gen set (or both),
to filter out gunk before it gets sucked into your cooling system(s). In the event that you do suck up gunk, you can close the seacock, clean the strainer, open the seacock and you're back in business. I wouldn't advise removing it -- but it would seem that you need to replace or repair it, assuming you do have an engine or other machinery that uses outside water for cooling. -- Karin Conover-Lewis Fair and Balanced since 1959 klc dot lewis at centurytel dot net "Miguel" wrote in message om...

Miguel -- Karin, Glen Thanks for your answers, there is a total lack of information in the boat's manual about the sea strainer operation, and I believe the "A/C only" note may be erroneous unless it operates using a DC/AC inversor I cannot see. I will dissasemble it and see what I can find!. If someone buys a Rinker be aware that the user guide is not what you may expect, besides that so far is a good boat!. |
