Where is AC strainers on 406

Post by Trout_bum »

Hi,

I searched posts but didn't see this question asked. I have a 406 and am looking for the AC Strainers. I see one in the forward bilge. Is that for both AC units or is there another one I cant fine? Thanks.

Usually it's only one strainer and pump for multiple ACs on board. You don't usually see more than one pump and strainer until you get into 4 or more AC units. In any case, the pump should be close to the strainer so look for that. Did you check in front of the port engine?

If you only have the fwd and salon ac units in your 406 then like was said there will be one and it's in the bilge by the dinette table.
