Component Placement

Strainer

Refer to the Plumbing Diagrams

 

Mount the strainer in an accessible area close to the intake through- hull that can handle water spillage during service. Extra care during assembly must be taken to avoid air leaks from the strainer. Use the supplied “Quick Block” and wire tie for mounting.

Fresh Water Flush Module

The fresh water flush module may be located in any convenient location near the Feed pump module. It should be mounted with the filter hous- ing vertical and accessible for changing filters. Allow 2” below the fil- ter housing for removal. Do not install over electrical equipment. The unit contains a charcoal filter for the flush water, flush solenoid and flush water pressure regulator.

Boost Pump module

The boost pump module should be mounted vertically with the service hose connection at the top. The boost pump must be installed below the water line to ensure that it will prime.

Feed Pump Module

Mount the feed pump module on a horizontal or vertical sur- face that can be up to 3’ (1.0M) above the waterline. It is preferable to mount as low as possible. Locate in an area that allows easy access to the filters and left hand side and where water spills during filter changes will not be a problem. Keep future maintenance in mind when choosing a location. The feed pump has overheat protection and will not operate prop- erly at ambient temperatures over 120F (48C).

Remove front cover to access mounting holes in the enclo- sure.
