  2. Connect seawater from installer supplied pump to lower 3\/4 in. (19 mm) hose barb on heat exchanger. Use the same practices as other below waterline seawater plumbing.<\/li>
  3. Connect seawater discharge to overboard drain. Use the same practices as other below waterline seawater plumbing.<\/li>
  4. Required flow rate is 2 GPM (7.6 LPM) minimum and 6 GPM (22.7 LPM) maximum.<\/li>
  5. In addition to initial operation at dock, new Seakeeper<\/span> installations should be checked for minimum 2 GPM (7.6 LPM) flow while vessel is at speed and when backing down.
    1. If no other method of confirming flow is available, discharge line may be temporarily diverted to a bucket. Flow is calculated from time to fill a known volume.<\/li>
    2. Flowrates in excess of 6 GPM (22.7 LPM) could affect heat exchanger life. <\/li><\/ol><\/li>
    3. Inspect raw water plumbing after sea trial for any signs of leakage.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
