Install the intake through hull as low in the boat as possible.  The minimum size through 
hull should be 1/2".  In areas of floating weed and jelly fish a larger through hull might be 
beneficial.  The sea strainer should be positioned above the through hull with no loops 
of hose that could trap air.  The pump should be positioned above the strainer and 
pump up to the DC 5000.  The water hose from the DC 5000 should leave the 
condenser and descend or remain parallel to the water line exiting a through hull above 
the water line. 
 
 
ABOUT THE PUMP 
 
The March 809 BR pumps are not self-priming.  The coupling between the impeller and 
the motor is through a pair of magnets.  The impeller is water lubricated and does not 
touch the housing in proper operation.  The advantage of this pump is a long life, quiet 
operation and low power consumption.  To treat this pump properly it must be flooded at 
all times.  Air pockets created by rising and falling hose levels and an improperly located 
pump and strainer will trap air, which the pump will not be able to displace preventing 
water pumping.   The only acceptable installation will not have air pockets in the water 
circuit. 
 
 
PLATE LOCATION 
 
The plate size, location, and plumbing are designed for each application.  This 
information is provided with each system. 
 
 
SEA FROST holdover plates mount with 
a "Wellnut" expandable neoprene blind 
hole fastener.  A template or the plate 
itself should be used to locate the 
mounting holes.  Drill 1/4" pilot holes 
then increase them to 1/2". Install the 
screw into the mounting tab then screw 
the Wellnut onto the screw.  Install the 
plate pushing the rubber mounts into the 
pre-drilled holes.  Tighten the screws.
