Picture below shows the sea strainer all clogged up with seaweed. It’s important to keep these clean because all of the boats machinery cools itself with saltwater. The engines, generators, air conditioning, water makers and sewage system all use raw water!

Pumping out the sewage tanks! Only if you’re 2+ miles off shore of course.

Hello, I'm new to the community. I'm Paraguayan, 22 years old, and I work as an engineer on a ship here in my country. I'm a yacht enthusiast and would love the opportunity to work on board one someday. Any advice you have would be very helpful, and I would be very grateful. Best regards, and happy sailing to all.
