DC ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WESTERBEKE engines and generators are supplied
pre-wired and with plug-in connectors. Never make or break
connections while the engine is running. Carefully follow all
instructions on the wiring diagram supplied, especially those
relating to fuse/circuit breaker requirements. Wiring diagrams
are included in your Operators Manual.
NOTE: WESTERBEKE manufactures marine engines and
generators using components that meet very rigid safety
standards. If a component on the engine or generator is
replaced with one that is non-compliant, then the safety of
the boat is jeopardized. Make certain that any engine
component you replace is a genuine WESTERBEKE
replacement part.
CONTROL PANELS FOR PROPULSION ENGINES
Two optional manually-operated control panels for
propulsion engines are available from WESTERBEKE.
These are the ADMIRAL CONTROL PANEL and the
CAPTAIN CONTROL PANEl. Both panels come with 15 ft.
(4.6 m) of connecting harness. The features of these two
panels are described in detail at the end of this section.
DIESEL GENERATOR INSTRUMENT PANELS
All WESTERBEKE diesel generators come with a standard
engine instrument panel (see illustration). With the exception
of the 5.7/7.6 BTD, they are mounted in a panel box attached
to the AC alternator. The panel faces the service side of the
generator and can be rotated to suit particular installations.
The panel can also be remote mounted by using optional
plug-in extension harnesses which are available in 15 ft.
(4.6 m) increments. A maximum of two harnesses, 30 ft
(9.2 m) can be connected. For longer distances, hard wiring
can be used as shown in the Operators Manual. An optional
cover plate is available to cover the face of the panel box
when the instrument panel is remote mounted. An optional
plate with pre-heat and start and stop switches is also
available for mounting in place of the instrument panel for
operation at the unit.
The 5.7/7.6 BTD comes standard with an instrument panel
for remote mounting (see illustration) and one 15 ft (4.6 m)
extension harness. Pre-heat and start and stop switches are
provided on the unit.
Two instrument panels can be installed using the optional
dual gauge sender kit. This second panel must be hard-wired
by the installer
OPTIONAL INSTRUMENT PANEL
(GASOLINE GENERATORS)
An optional instrument panel is available supplied with an
engine oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, engine
mounted alternator voltage gauge, engine operating
hourmeter and control switches. This panel must be wired
into the terminal strip in the main control panel on the
engine/generator and must be mounted in a remote location
where the instruments can be monitored and the switches
activated.
NOTE: This panel must not be located in an engine or
generator compartment because it is not ignition protected,
and has not been Coast Guard approved.
OPTIONAL REMOTE START/STOP PANEL
(DIESEL AND GASOLINE GENERATORS)
An optional remote Start/Stop panel is available containing
three switches and a run indicator light (green). This panel
must be wired into the terminal strip in the main control
panel on the engine/generator and must be mounted in a
remote location such as the vessel’s wheelhouse.
NOTE: This panel must not be located in an engine or gener-
ator compartment because it is not ignition protected, and
has not been Coast Guard approved.
