Waterlines from seacock to engine-driven seawater
pump are usually flexible hose. Reference ABYC
Standard P-1 for acceptable exhaust hose materials. If
using a non-flexible waterline, a flexible section of hose
isnecessary to allow vibrational motionof the generator
set during operation. Support a nonflexible waterline
within 4 in. (102 mm) of its connection to the flexible
section.
Keep pipes as straight and as short as possible. If the
pipe is too long, water draw problems may occur. To
remedy some problems with long pipe runs (usually
over 15 ft [4.6 m]), increase the hose size to the next
standard pipe diameter. Example: substitute 3/4 in.
