engine model and serial numbers. In addition, include a
complete part description and part number for each part

SPARES
AND
ACCESSORIES
Certain spare parts will be needed to support and maintain
your WESTERBEKE engine when cruising (see
SUGGESTED SPARE PARTS). Often even simple items such
as proper fuel and oil filter can be difficult to obtain along
the way. WESTERBEKE will provide you with a suggested
spares and accessories brochure to assist you in preparing an
on-board inventory
of
the proper WESTERBEKE parts.
PROTECTING
YOUR
INVESTMENT
Care at the factory during assembly and thorough testing
have resulted in a WESTERBEKE engine capable
of
many
thousands
of
hours
of
dependable service. However the
manufacturer cannot control how
or
where the engine is
installed in the vessel
or
the manner in which the unit is
operated and serviced in the field. This is up to the
buyer/owner-operator.
NOTE:
Six important steps to ensure long engine life:
• Proper engine installation
and
alignment.
•
An
efficient well-designed
exhaust
system that includes
an
anti-siphon break to
prevent
water
from
entering the
engine.
• Changing the engine
oil
and
oil
jilters every 100
operating hours.
• Proper maintenance
of
all engine components according
to the maintenance schedule in this manuaL
• Use clean,jiltered unleadedfueL
• Winterize
your
engine according to the "lo.y-up
and
Recommissioning" section in this manual.
UNDERSTANDING
THE
GASOLINE
ENGINE
The. gasoline marine engine is in many ways similar to a
gasoline automobile engine.
The
cylinders are vertical
in-line, and the engine's cylinder head has an overhead
camshaft which is chain-driven. The engine utilizes a solid-
state distributor which is horizontally mounted and camshaft-
driven. The engine incorporates a pressure type lubrication
system, and a fresh water-cooled engine block which is
thermostatically-controlled. To a large degree, the marine
engine requires the same preventive maintenance that is
required
of
a gasoline automobile engine. The most
important factors to the engine's longevity are proper
ventilation, maintenance
of
the fuel system, ignition system,
cooling system and the lubrication system.
