Last weekend our A/C shutoff with the "HI - P5" error. This has happened in the past and was not a big deal. I opened up the strainer and it was full of gunk and small sticks. I cleaned it out and put it all back together.
We have been told that once you open up the strainer you need to "re-prime" the system. In the past we have done this by "plowing" the boat through the water for a few minutes and then starting up the a/c. We have also been told you can re-prime by sticking a hose in the outlet for the a/c water and squirting water in there.
We tried both way for well over an hour and couldn't get the a/c to work again. It just keeps shutting down with the "HI-P5" error. Is there another way to prime the a/c again? Or could there be something else wrong?
