Westerbeke 21A Manual de instalación descargar pdf (Pagina 8)

This marine Installation Manual covers all WESTERBEKE

Engine and Generator models, both diesel and gasoline. The

purpose of this manual is to provide boatyards and installers

who are already familiar with installation procedures, addi-

tional detailed installation instructions to ensure the safest

and most efficient operating conditions. These instructions

may vary due to the many WESTERBEKE Engines and

Generators available and the diversity of boat designs.

Proper location and installation of the engine or generator in

the vessel are of prime importance. Factors in the installation

that must be considered are:

1. Ventilation, to provide air for engine combustion and

to remove heat produced by the engine/generator while

operating.

2. Exhaust System, to properly discharge cooling water,

quiet the exhaust, and expel exhaust gas. Install a

siphon-break.

3. Cooling Water Supply, to cool the engine with a

continuous flow of filtered raw water.

4. Fuel System, to provide an unrestricted fuel supply and

properly filtered fuel to the fuel pump.

5. Electrical Connections, both AC and DC and proper

grounding.

6. Transmission Propeller Connections (Engines only)

Please read this manual carefully and observe the safety

precautions. Should your engine or generator require

servicing, contact your WESTERBEKE dealer. For Serial

Number location, Decal information or Parts Ordering

information, refer to your WESTERBEKE Operators

Manual.

INSTALLATION CODES AND SAFETY STANDARDS

Recommended publications concerning Safety Codes and

standards are listed in this safety section. Following is a

summary of what these standards include. Both the U.S.

Code (USC), which are the laws passed by Congress, and the

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), which are agency

generated rules, contain pertinent information.

Title 46 Chapter 43 of the USC applies specifically to

recreational vessels. It gives the Secretary of Transportation

the authority to set the standards for boats that are

manufactured and operated in the United States. It also spells

out the penalties for violation of the standards.

According to Title 46 USC 4307, a person may not

manufacture, construct, assemble, offer for sale, introduce

into interstate commerce, or import into the United States

any recreational vessel that does not comply with the federal

regulations. Any associated equipment or component used on

one of these vessels must also be in compliance. Further, a

person is prohibited from operating any vessel that does not

comply with the regulations.

Within the CFRs are the detailed requirements applicable

to boats with gasoline engines. The majority of requirements

pertinent to recreational vessels are contained in 33 CFR

Part 183.

• Subpart I—Electrical Systems 183.401–183.460

• Subpart J—Fuel Systems 183.501–183.572

• Subpart K—Ventilation 183.601–183.630

Standards for marine carburetors and the requirements for the

backfire flame arrester are contained in 46 CFR Subparts

25.35 and 58.10. Also within Subpart 58.10 are the exhaust

manifold and exhaust system requirements for both gasoline

and diesel engine installations. Several publications that

address these federal mandates, making compliance easier,

include:

• The USCG Fuel System, Electrical System and

Ventilation Compliance Guidelines

• The USCG Safety Standards for Backyard Boat Builders

• The National Fire Prevention Association NFPA–302

Fire Protection Standard for Pleasure and Commercial

Motor Craft

• The ABYC Standards and Recommended Practices for

Small Craft

The ABYC Standards Manual is the most comprehensive and

widely used reference. ABYC constantly revises and updates

its “projects,” as it calls each topic section. The manual is

easy to read and quite detailed. Adherence with these

standards will put the recreational boater in compliance with

federal mandates. Anyone considering installing an engine

or generator should start with a thorough review of these

standards:

• H-2—Ventilation of Boats Using Gasoline

• H-24—Gasoline Fuel Systems

• P-1—Installation of Exhaust Systems

• P-4—Marine Inboard Engines

• E-9—DC Electrical Systems Under 50 Volts

USCG “inspected vessels,” especially those carrying

passengers for hire, are required to meet even more stringent

standards than those discussed above. A very thorough

review of the applicable CFRs is necessary before the Coast

Guard arrives for their inspection.
