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
when
the
vessel
is
static or under various
operating conditions, 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 24"
above the vessel's waterline. Failure
to
use
a siphon-break
when
the exhaust mani-
fold 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.
NOTE:
A siphon-break
requires
periodic inspection and cleaning
to
ensure
proper
operation.
Failure
to
properly 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.
