8.10.4Installation of the Seawater System
➤ Install the seawater speed scoop intake as far below the water line and as
close to the keel as possible and with intake facing forward.
This keeps the intake in the water when the boat heels over so that air does
not get into the system.
➤ Bed the scoop with a marine sealant designed for underwater use.
➤ Apply the bedding compound liberally to both sides and throughout the
hole.
➤ Install the bronze, full flow seacock on the speed scoop thru-hull inlet.
➤ Install the seawater strainer below the level of the pump with access to filter.
➤ Connect the seacock and strainer with an uphill run using the 5/8" (16 mm)
reinforced marine grade hose.
➤ Mount the seawater pump securely above the strainer, at least 300 mm
below the water line.
➤ Mount the air conditioning unit by securing the base pan onto a flat, horizon-
tal surface with the mounting clip brackets and the 4 screws.
The base pan also serves as a condensate pan.
➤ Connect the discharge from the pump uphill to the bottom inlet of the air
The following guidelines should be followed during the connection of the
Marine Climate System:
•
The correct size circuit breaker should be used to protect the system as specified on the air conditioning unit’s data plate label.
•
Install and ground/bond AC power source in accordance with marine electrical standards.
•
Use a minimum of 3.5 mm² boat cable
–to supply power to the air conditioning unit
–to supply power to the seawater pump
–to extend the wires on the pump
•
Any electrical connections in the bilge below the waterline should use sealing heat shrink type butt splices.
29
EN
OperationMCS T6, MCS T12, MCS T16
•
All connections to the terminal strip shall be made with appropriately sized
ring terminals (not supplied).
•
Each air conditioning unit installed requires its own dedicated circuit breaker.
–If there is only one air conditioning unit installed, the seawater pump
does not require a circuit breaker; the wiring from the seawater pump is
connected to the terminal strip on the unit (see wiring diagram, fig. 0,
page 8)
➤ Connect the air conditioning unit to the boat's bonding system to prevent
corrosion due to stray electrical current.
➤ Ensure that the AC ground of the air conditioning unit is properly connected
to the AC ground of the boat.
➤ Within the boat itself, ensure that the AC ground bus is connected to the DC
ground bus at exactly one place.
➤ Bond individually all pumps, metallic valves and fittings in the seawater circuit
that are insulated from the air conditioning unit by PVC or rubber hoses to the
boat's bonding system.
This will help eliminate any possibility of corrosion due to stray current.
