a bulkhead that directly separates the living space from the machine space to avoid excessive sound radiation.

The DC 5000 may be installed close to a bulkhead and overhead. Allow access to the front (as shown in the drawing above) and left end where the tubes and hoses will exit.

Fasten the DC 5000 through the (4) drilled holes in the base.

THE BRUSHES WILL REQUIRE PERIODIC INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT. BE SURE THE DC 5000 IS LOCATED WHERE BOTH BRUSH COVERS CAN BE ACCESSED.

WATER PUMP INSTALLATION AND WATER CIRCUIT

Proper water pump installation is essential to a trouble free system.

•The pump will not self-prime.

•The pump must be well below the water line on all angles of heel.

•The pump motor must be above the pump body.

•The pump outlet must be above the pump inlet.

•The pump should have it's own intake through hull with sea cock, sea strainer and exit through hull.
