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 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 18"
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.
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.
