even sink your boat.

intake systems have seawater strainers.
If equipped, the seawater strainer is located near the seawater intake system’s seacock.
Check the strainers for leaks and/or debris every time you use your boat.
Refer to the seawater strainer instruction sheet for cleaning and maintenance information.
