- Questions

How often should I clean my raw water strainer?

Inspect strainers before each outing on Gold Coast vessels and clean when debris accumulates. Boats in weedy or debris-laden water need more frequent cleaning throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland. Some operators clean strainers weekly during active seasons. Regular inspection prevents pump damage and engine overheating. The clear bowl allows quick visual checks without disassembly.

What micron rating do I need for fuel filters?

Primary fuel filters typically use 30-micron elements on the Tweed Coast, while secondary filters use 10-micron or 2-micron elements for final filtration. Diesel engines require finer filtration than petrol engines throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland. Check your engine manufacturer's specifications. Too fine filtration restricts flow while too coarse filtration allows damaging particles through.

Why does my fuel filter keep filling with water?

Water in fuel indicates contaminated fuel tanks on Gold Coast vessels or condensation in tanks from temperature changes. Drain water from filters regularly, inspect tank vents, and consider fuel treatment additives throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland. Replace deteriorated tank vents that allow moisture entry. Fuel water separators protect engines by removing water before it reaches injectors or carburetors.

Can I eliminate the raw water strainer to reduce restrictions?

Never eliminate raw water strainers on the Tweed Coast. They're essential protection preventing debris from damaging pumps and blocking cooling passages. The small flow restriction is insignificant compared to damage costs from unfiltered water throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland. Size strainers appropriately for your flow requirements rather than eliminating this critical protection component.
