🔌 Function

The water inlet transfers seawater from the IPS unit into the engine's raw-water pump and heat-exchanger circuit.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Reduced seawater flow or engine overheating
• Air entering the raw-water circuit
• Corrosion, cracking or impact damage
• Water leakage at the inlet connection
• Incorrect earlier or later inlet fitted to the IPS unit

🛠️ Service Notes

• Renew the seals within the kit whenever the inlet is disturbed, and bleed any trapped air from the raw-water circuit after refitting.
• Confirm the kit matches the specific IPS unit fitted before ordering.
• Check the inlet connection for correct seating before running the engine, as leakage or air ingress at this joint is the main failure sign.
