INSTALLATION
When installing WESTERBEKE engines and generators it is important that strict
attention be paid to the following information:
CODES
AND
REGULATIONS
Strict federal regulations, ABYC guidelines, and safety codes must be complied with
when
installing
engines
and
generators
in
a
marine
environment.
SIPHON-BREAK
For installations where the exhaust manifold/water injected exhaust elbow
is
close to
or
will
be
below
the
vessel's
waterline,
provisions
must
be
made
to
install
a
siphon-
break
in
the raw water supply hose
to
the exhaust elbow. This hose must be looped a
minimum
of
20"
above
the
vessel's
waterline.
Failure
to
use
a siphon-break
when
the exhaust manifold byeclion port is at or below the load waterline will result in
raw water damage to the engine
and
possible flooding
of
the boat.
If
you have any doubt about the position
of
the water-injected exhaust elbow relative
to
the
vessel's
waterline
under
the
vessel's
various
operating
conditions,
ins/all a
siphon-break.
NOTE:
A
siphon~break
requires periodic inspection and cleaning to
ensure
proper
operation.
Failure
fa
pmperly maintain a siphon-break
can
result
in
catastrophic
engine damage. Consult
the
siphon-break manufacturer for proper maintenance.
EXHAUST
SYSTEM
The exhaust hose must be certified for marine use. The system must be designed
to
prevent
water
from
entering
the
exhaust
under
any
sea
conditions
and
at
any
angle
of
the vessels hull.
A
detailed
Marine
Installation
Manual
covering
gasoline
and
diesel
engine
and
generators
is
suppied
with
each
unit.
Additional
copies
