21. Diesel Generator (oponal)
As an alternave to the petrol generator, a diesel powered generator can be installed to provide 230V
AC power. Depending on the electrical load, Quicksilver® oers either a 5kW or 7kW generator. The
system consists of a seawater pickup system for cooling, an engine exhaust with a muer, a ship /
shore power contactor for power distribuon, a diesel fuel system, and a vapor blower system.
Operaon
It is recommended that you read and understand the informaon in the manufacturer’s owners
manual before operaon. The generator is warranted separately by the generator manufacturer, NOT
Quicksilver®. Follow the recommended maintenance and warranty schedule per the generator
manufacturer. Generator abuse or improper maintenance may adversely aect claims made under
generator manufacturer separate warranty.
Fuel System
The diesel generator fuel system consists of a crosslink polyethylene fuel tank with a capacity of 90
liters. Fuel is delivered from the tank to the generator via the fuel feed line and passing through a
shuto valve and fuel / water separator. The shuto valve is a safety feature designed to prevent fuel
from siphoning out of the tank if the fuel line was ever cut or broken below the level of the fuel in the
tank. The fuel / water separator contains a 10 micron lter that provides addional protecon from
water and dirt in the fuel.
Do not run the generator out of fuel because there is the potenal of drawing in air and necessitang
bleeding of the system before restarng the unit. As a precauon, check the fuel lines frequently for
leaks or any surface cracking on the hose. Replace the hose immediately if any issues are found.
Venlaon of Bilge Space
Prior to starng the generator, you must run the bilge blower for at least four minutes and manually
check the bilge for fuel or fuel vapor. Quicksilver® also recommends that you run the blower when
operang below cruising speed. To operate the blower, press the blower switch located under the
helm seat next to the generator remote start.
Prior to starng the generator, check the bilge for fuel or
fuel vapor. If fumes are detected, do not start the generator
unl the source of fumes is determined, corrected, and the
bilge area is safely venlated.
