1.7. Engine system
1.7.1. Structure of the engine room
The centrally arranged main engine on a stable mount takes up most of the space. It is elastically
bedded so as to absorb vibrations and sound. The area underneath the machines is shaped like
an oil tray that must be cleaned regularly. Due to the light colour, you can immediately see
whether there are leaks in the oil circulation. The area below the engines should be checked
periodically to detect oil leaks in due time. This area must always be kept clean.
All hull openings are equipped with seacocks. Before travelling, check whether they are open and
whether the seawater filters are dirty.
Observe the operating instructions of the engine system and the
notes on operation, maintenance and care therein.
Include the opening for the sail drive in your regular inspections.
The exact description of the drive line is in the operating instruction for the engine.
