Check the seal between lid and housing after
cleaning and re-assembling the strainer. An im-
properly sealed lid will result in air sucked in by
the sea water pump of the engine which again
will result in overheating of the engine.
To prevent damage of the water strainer, dur-
ing frost in the winter time, either the water
must be drained or the installation must be
filled with anti-freeze.
