Cooling system

The C-8 has a closed-loop cooling system. The electrical equipment is cooled by two cooling plates under the hull and circulating coolant. The seawater regulates the temperature of the cooling plates.

Checking the coolant level

The coolant tank is located under the sunbed stowage bag. A decrease in coolant indicates leakage.

  1. Check the level of coolant in the coolant tank regularly.\
  2. If necessary, refill with coolant to the level indicated on the tank. 3. If you suspect a leakage, contact Candela.

CAUTION!
Risk of damage to the environment.

A coolant tank leak is an environmental hazard. Leaked coolant in the keel can be pumped into the sea by the bilge pumps.

Refilling the coolant tank

The coolant tank is located under the sunbed stowage bag.

  1. Mix concentrated ethylene glycol with water with a ratio of 50:50.
  2. Fill the coolant tank to the level indicated on the tank.

Cleaning the cooling plates

The cooling plates must be kept clean to function properly.

  • Regularly remove any algae growth.
  • Remove barnacle growth immediately after retrieving the boat. Use a scraper.
