I am doing a new install of a
marine 16k AC. I positioned the intake in proximity to
engine intake so I felt certain I was low enough on
hull. This install is in a complete
rebuild of a '72
Pearson 33 so there is not a lot of room. Question is: I expected where I positioned the
Bronze strainer that when I opened the
thru hull,
water would fill the strainer.
Water stops in hose about 7" from top of
thru hull fitting and does not reach strainer much less fill it. I expected to mount the
pump on same plain as the top of the strainer. Now
installation has come to a stop! The
pump is not a dry pump so it needs water. Any ideas??
