In confined compartments fresh cool air should be brought into the
compartment by means of AC or DC blowers and necessary ducting. This
air should be directed at the generator end bell opening.
Unwanted hot air should be allowed to exhaust from the
compartment.
Sizing
The proper sized generator to maintain the average vessel load
should be installed, otherwise compromises when loading will have to
be worked out.
An inventory of the vessel's AC loads should be made paying par-
ticular attention to motor loads that the generator will have to start
and run. (The amperage draw of a motor when starting can be as much
as 3 - 5 times its normal running amperage.)
Determine the average AC load of the vessel and size the generator
to handle this load with reserve.

Exhaust
System
All exhaust systems should be such that the entry of water into
the engine exhaust manifold and cylinders is prevented while the
engine is not running, when the vessel is under sailor power,
healing, backing down, from following seas or any other conditions.
Special attention must be made to insure that the system is secure and
tight and free of leaks.
WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY.
