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 below the vessel's waterline, 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
18"
above the vessel's waterline. Failure to use a siphon-break when the exhaust
manifold injection port is
at
or below the load waterline will result in raw water
damage to the engine
and
possible flooding
of
the boat.
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.
