INSTALLATION CHECKS
General
Because the crafts
In
which Westerbeke engines are installed vary
in
design, installation procedures will vary
according
to
your craft's specific design. It
is
not the intent
of
this section
to
advise boatyards
or
installers
on procedures alreadywell-developed and well-understood. However, it
is
important that the owner/operator
realize there are details
of
the installation which require periodic checks
to
ensure the best operating condi-
tions
for
the equipment and safe operating conditions
for
the personnel on board. Proper location and in-
stallation
of
the diesel engine in the vessel are of prime importance.
Factors
in
the installation that must be considered are ventilation,
to
aid in cooling and
to
provide air
for
en-
gine combustion; exhaust system,
to
properly discharge raw cooling water, quiet the exhaust and expel ex-
haust gas;
cooling water supply; fuel supply; and electrical connections.
CAUTION
For safety reasons, the engine and transmission are NOT filled with lubricating oil for ship-
ment. Before leaving the factory, however, each engine with transmission is thoroughly tested
with oil in
it.
This testing, among other things, provides all internal parts with a coating
of
011.
This oil acts as a preservative, providing reliable protection against corrosion for
at
least one
year if the engine and transmission are properly stored.
Location
The location should be such that it
is
dry, and in an area where bilge water
or
water from above cannot splash
on the engine. The engine
should be properly ventilated and accessible for minor servicing and repairs (ac-
cess
for
major repairs should be given consideration as well). The location must
be
properly ventilated
to
provide fresh air
for
engine combustion. The engine's lubrication oil sump dipstick, the fresh water and oil
fills, and the transmission's dipstick and transmission or oil fill port must be accessible.
