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 injection 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, install a
siphon-break.
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.
