GENERATOR LOCATION

A solid, level mounting platform is very important for the

proper operation of your generator. Select a location that will

allow adequate space on all sides for ventilation and

servicing, preferably on, and parallel with, the keel or vessel

center line. Keep the generator away from living quarters,

and away from bilge splash and vapors.

Make sure there is room to access the following service

points:

• Negative and positive battery connections

• Fuel inlet and outlet connections

• Oil fill and oil drain hose

• Raw water inlet and outlet

• Location of the (owner supplied) fuel/water fuel filter.

A generator will rock on its mounts in rough seas, therefore

clearance is necessary on all sides. Larger generators require

up to a three-inch (76mm) clearance.

Avoid supporting the generator from bulkheads which can

create drumming effects and transmit noise and vibration

throughout the boat.

Generator location is preferable in the same room or

compartment as the propulsion engine, as this is usually a

well ventilated area, insulated, close to the fuel supply and

the center of the electrical load distribution. However, a

generator cannot be installed in the propulsion engine

compartment unless specific conditions are met.

USCG regulation 33CFR183 pertains to gasoline fuel

systems, and requires a generator operating in a gasoline fuel

environment to be “ignition protected.” This means a

generator capable of operating in an explosive environment

without igniting that environment. Properly installed and

operated, a WESTERBEKE gasoline generator can operate

in an explosive environment.

GENERATOR MOUNTING

Generator mounting rails have numerous pre-drilled bolt

holes to ensure that the generator is properly positioned and

secured to its mounting platform.

GENERATOR LOCATION AND MOUNTING

▲ WARNING:

Gasoline fire or explosion can result in

severe personal injury or death. Do not install a

gasoline generator in the same room or compartment as

a diesel engine or generator. The diesel unit may not be

ignition protected and may ignite gasoline fumes. Be

sure a gasoline generator is installed in its own room or

compartment on a diesel powered boat.

Do not install a diesel generator in the same room or

compartment as a gasoline engine.
