ABSTRACT:
A device for controlling the growth of organisms in the cooling water inlets (7a and 7b) in outboard or stern drive motors. The device comprises of a resilient collar (1) that is placed over the cooling water inlets (7a and 7b) in such a way as to trap a small amount of water (9) inside of and immediately adjacent to the cooling water inlets (7a and 7b). On one side of the collar (1), near one inlet (7a and 7b), a cavity (6) for holding and releasing a treatment chemical (8) is provided. The water (9) trapped in the cooling water inlets (7a and 7b) slowly dissolves the treatment chemical (8), releasing a biocide, thus inhibiting the growth of the targeted organism. A handle (2) is provided so that the collar (1) can be readily installed and removed from the stern of the boat without removal of the boat from water (9).
