Engines 70 Cylinder Lubrication It is not necessary to remove the fuel injectors from the cylinder head to squirt light lubricating oil into the cylinders for the few months of normal layup However if you anticipate a longer layup period 12 months or morewe recommended that this procedure be performed The light oil in the cylinders will prevent the pistons rings from sticking to the cylinder walls Ensure that you have replacements for the injector and return line sealing washers Spares Layup time provides a good opportunity to inspect your Westerbeke engine to see if external items such as drive belts or coolant hoses need replacement Check your basic spares kit and order items not on hand or replace those items used during the layup such as filters and zinc anodes Batteries If batteries are to be left on board during the layup period ensure that they are fully charged and will remain that way to prevent them from freezing If there exists any doubt that the batteries will not remain fully charged or that they will be subjected to severe environmental conditions remove the batteries and store them in a warmer more compatible environment The of your Westerbeke engine after a seasonal layup generally follows the same proce255dures as those presented in the PREPARATIONS FOR STARTING section page 21 regarding preparation for starting and normal starts However some of the layup procedures will need to be counteracted before starting the engine 1 Remove the oilsoaked cloths from the intake manifold and from the throughhull exhaust port 2 Remove the sea water pump cover and gasket and discard the old gasket Install the sea water pump impeller removed during layup or a replacement if the sea water pump cover with a new cover gasket Wear rubber gloves a rubber apron and eye protection when servicing batteries Lead acid batteries emit hydrogen a gas which can be ignited by electrical arcing or a lighted cigarette cigar or pipe Do not smoke or allow an open flame near the battery being serviced Shut off all electrical equipment in the Vicinity to prevent electrical ar255cing during servicing 3 Reinstall the batteries that were removed during the layup

the oil is addedand attaching a pump onto the tube so the old oil may be sucked out The operating oil temperature must not exceed 266 F 130 CIf this temperature is to be exceeded during normal operation an optional transmission fluid cooler should be installed Consult you local Westerbeke Dealer for details on this cooler NOTE To check the transmission fluid level remove the dipstick and wipe off all transmission oil on the dipstick and place the dipstick back in the hole where it was removed making sure that the dipsticks rubber head is properly inserted into the oil port Now remove the dipstick and see where the oil measures on the dipstick If the transmissions oil level lies below the notch add enough transmission oil to raise the level back up to the notch Do not overfill the transmission DO NOT force the dipstick into the oil port to check the transmission oil level Excessive pres255sure can ruin the dipstick Make sure that the dipstick is properly inserted into the oil

multipledisc clutch requires only a minimum effort to change drives This feature makes the transmission suitable for a singlelever remote control with a rod linkage such as a Morse or Bow255den cable For safety reasons the transmission is NOT filled with transmission fluid for shipment Before leaving the factory however each transmission is thoroughly tested with fluid in the transmission This test255ing among other things provides all internal parts with a coating of transmission fluid This fluid acts as a preservative providing reliable protection against corrosion for at least one year if the transmission is proper255ly stored DIPSTICKFIll PORT Lubrication The HBW 50 transmission is an type Fill the transmission up to or near the top of the machined notch cut on the dipstick with approximately 032 US quarts 03 Ikersof automatic fluid ATFChange the transmission fluid after the first 30 hours of engine operation and thereafter every 250 hours or once per year minimumThe HBW 50 transmission has a drain plug for draining the old transmission fluid To ensure that most of the old fluid is drained from the transmission run the engine in NEUTRAL for 10 to 15 minutes so the transmission fluid may warm and flow better from the transmission This transmission fluid may also be removed by inserting a small tube through the dipstick opening where the transmission fluid is addedand attaching a pump onto the tube so the old fluid may be sucked out Westerbeke Diesel Engines 50 3 Filling the Oil Sump Add fresh oil through the oil filler cap on the valve cover refer to the photographs on pages 5 and 6 for the location of the oil filler cap and lube oil dipstickAfter refilling the oil run the engine for a few moments while checking the engines oil pressure Ensure there is no leakage around the new oil filter or from the oil drain system and then stop the engine Then check the quantity of oil with the lube oil dipstick Fill to but not over the high mark on the dipstick should the engine require additional oil 49 Westerbeke Diesel Engines Engine Oil Change to include filter1 Draining the Oil Sump Discharge the old oil through the sump drain hose attached at the front of the enginewhile engine is still warm Drain the old oil completely replace the hose in ITS bracket and replace the end cap securely Always observe the old oil as IT is removed A yellowgray emulsion indicates the presence of water in the oil Although this condition is rare IT does require prompt attention to prevent serious damage Call a competent mechanic should water be present in the oil Sea water present in the oil can be the result of a fault in the exhaust system attached to the engine andor a siphoning through the sea water cooling cir255cuit into the exhaust filling IT up into the engine refer to the installation illustrations on page 152 Replacement of the Oil Filter When removing the used oil filter you may find IT helpful and cleaner to punch a hole in the upper and lower portion of the old filter to drain the oil from IT into a container before remov255ing it This helps to lessen spillage A small style automotive filter wrench should be helpful in removing the old oil filter Place some paper towels and a plastic bag around the filter when unscrewing it to catch any all left in the filter Oil or any other fluid on the engine reduces the engines cooling ability Please keep your generators engine cleanInspect the old oil filter as it is ret110ved to make sure that the rubber sealing gasket came off with the old oil filter If this rubber sealing gasket remains sealed against the engine block gently remove it The replaceable cartridgetype oil filter requires no cleaning inside so it may be properly disposed of When installing the new oil filter element wipe the filter gaskets sealing surface on the engine block free of oil and apply a thin coat of clean engine oil to the rubber gasket on the oil filter Screw the filter onto the threaded oil filter stub and then tighten the filter firmly by hand II II 1 I I I II i II I NOTE Generic filters are not recommended as the material standards or diameters of im255portant items on generic parts might be entirely different from genuine parts Immediately after an oil filter cnange and oil fill run the engine to ensure that the oil pressure Is normal and that there are no oil leaks around the new oil filter Westerbeke Diesel Engines 48 SYSTEM Engine Oil For engine lubrication use lubricating oil designated for diesel service These oils are classified according to the API specifications Into service grades CA CB CC and CD The use of CC or higher CDgrades made by wellknown manufacturers is recommended The oil selected should be used thereafter Engine Oil Viscosity SAE NumberUse an oil having a viscostty best sutted to the atmospheric temperature Use of an allseason oil SAE 10W30 with minimum visCOSITY change under different temperatures is suggested Atmospheric Temperature 68260 F 20260 Cor higher 41260 F 5260 C68260 F 20260 C41 260 F5260 Cor lower Viscostty SAE 30 or 1 SAE 20 or 1 SAE 10W30 NOTE Do not use an engine lubricating oil wtth an SAE number greater than 30 in the engine Oil Pressure The engines 011 pressure during operation is indicated by the oil pressure gauge on the Admiral Panel see page 24During normal operation the oil pressure will range between 35 and 55 psi At Idle speed the oil pressure will range between 20 and 35 psi Atthetime of cranking the oil pressure will rise with speed NOTE A newly started cold engine can have an oil pressure reading upwards of 60 psi A warmed engine can have an oil pressure reading as low as 35 psI These readings will vary depending upon the speed at which the engine is running 47 Westerbeke Diesel Engines AdobeUCSHoses should rise continuously from their low point at the heater to the engine so that trapped air will rise naturally from the heater to the engine If trapped air is able rise to the heater then an air bleed petcock must be installed at the higher fitting on the heater for bleeding air while filling the system Avoid loops in hose runs which will trap air Note If any portion of the heating circuit rises above the engines own pressure cap then a pressurized aluminumremote expansion tank must be installed in the circuit to become the highest point The remote expansion tanks part number is 24177 Install the remote expan255sion tank in a convenient location such as in a sail locker so the fresh water coolant level can easily be checked The cap on the engine mounted expansion tank should not be opened once the remote system is installed and filled The hose connection from the heater to the remote expansion tank should be rou1ed and supported so as to rise continuously from the heater to the tank enabling any air in the system to rise Refer to the illustrations on the previous page Westerbeke Diesel Engines 46 Domestic Hot Water The 12B TWO engine is equipped with domestic hot water heater connections If the owneroperator wishes to connect a hot water heater remove only the small hose that connects with the thermostat housing and the exhaust manifold and connect to these hose connections the hoses that run to the heater General With the small hose removed there remain two connecting points for hoses to run to and from the water heater These connections when plumbed correct255ly should allow for a flow of heated engine cooling system water to and from the domestic water heater without effecting the operation of the engines cooling system ATTACH HOSE REMOVE THIS HOSE RUNNING FROM WATER HEATER ATTACH HOSE RUNNING TO WATER HEATER Installation The heater should be mounted conveniently either in a high or low position in relation to the en255gine so that the connecting hoses from the heater to the engine can run in a reasonably direct line without any loops which might trap air The connection made to the thermostat housing should connect to the lower of the two connections on the water heater while the upper connection on the heater returns to the connec255tion on the exhaust manifold Note Use a good grade of wire reinforced 1

Tension 43 I I Westerbeke Diesel Engines Sea Water Circuil The sea water flow is created by a belt255driven positive displacement neoprene im255peller pump The pump draws sea water directly from the ocean through the sea cock and sea water strainer and passes the water to the heat exchangers sea water inlet The sea water passes through the heat exchangers tubes from which heat from the fresh water system is absorbed and then the sea water is discharged from the cooling sys255tem overboard through the waterinjected wet exhaust system NEW AHODE REPLACE REPLACE Zinc Anode Conditions CL EAN OR REPLACE A zinc anode or pencil is located in the sea water cooling circuit within the heat exchanger The purpose of the zinc anode is to sacrifice itself to electrolysis action taking place in the sea water cooling circuit there255by reducing the effects of electrolysis on other components of the system The condition of the zinc anode should be checked monthly and the anode cleaned or replaced as required Spare anodes should be car255ried on board Sea Water Pump The sea water pump is a sellpriming beltdriven rotary pump with a nonferrous housing and a neoprene impeller The impeller has flexible vanes which wipe against a curved cam plate within the impeller housing producing the pumping action On no account should this pump be run dry There should always be a spare impeller and impeller cover gasket aboard an impeller kitSea water failures occur when lubricant sea wateris not present Such failures are not warrantable and the operators are cautioned to ensure that sea water flow is present at startup Alternator and Water Pump Drive Belt Tension IWARNINGI Never attempt to adjust the drive belts tension while the engine is in operation CAUTION Excessive alternator and water pump drive belt tension can cause rapid wear of the belt and reduce the service life of the fresh water pump and alternator shaft bearings Excessive slack or the presence of oil on the belt can cause belt slipping resulting in high operating tempera255ture as well as insufficient alternator output Westerbeke Diesel Engines 42 COOLANT RECOVERY TANI F 267J267i I 1 I CAP UANIFOLD Coolant Recovery Tank Recommended Installation Fill the fresh water system as follows 1 Remove the pressure cap from the manifold 2 Pour a clean antifreeze mixture into the manifold and allow enough time for the coolant to fill the fresh water cooling system 3 Start the engine and allow it to come up to its operating temperature Monitor the coolant in the manifold and add antifreeze coolant as air is expelled Once all air is expelled from the system fill the manifold to the filler neck and install the pressure cap 4 Remove the plastic cap from the plastic coolant recovery tank and fill the tank with coolant halfway be255tween the ADD mark and the MAX mark Replace the plastic cap 5 Run the engine and observe the coolants expansion flow into the plastic recovery tank 6 Check for leaks between the pressure capfiller neck and then plastic recovery tank Stop the engine and allow it to cool Coolant should be drawn back into the cooling system as the engines temperature comes down 7 Add coolant to the recovery tank as required to top off the fresh water coolant system Thermostat Generally thermostats are of two types One is simply a choking device which opens and closes as the engines temperature rises and falls The second type has a bypass mechanism Usually this is a disc on the bottom olthe thermostat which moves downward to close off an internal bypass passage within the head Since 1980 each type of thermostat has a hole punched through it The hole is a bypass to prevent the ex255haust manifold from overheating during the engines warmup Replacement thermostats must have this design characteristic 41 Westerbeke Diesel Engines CONCENTRATION DATA Antifreeze Concentration 13 23 30 35 45 50 60 Freezing Temperature F 23 14 5 4 22 40 58 It is advisable that an antifreeze concentration be selected on the basis of a tempera255ture which Is about 10 F 5 Clower than the actual atmospheric temperature expected B Filling the Fresh Water System A coolant recovery tank kit is supplied with each Westerbeke diesel engine The purpose of this recovery tank is to allow for engine coolant expansion and contraction during engine operation Without the loss of coolant and without introducing air into the cooling system This coolant recovery tank should be installed at or above engine manifold level in a location where it can be easily monitored and where coolant can be easily added if needed see the figure belowA stainless steel mounting bracket is supplied with each ktt along with a 3Dinch length of clear plastic hose and clamps to connect the hose between the engines manifold fitting to the hose spud on the base of the recovery tank FUNCTION OF MANIFOLD PRESSURE CAP From Coolant Tenk COOLANT RETRACTION to Coolant Tank COOLANT EXPANSION Coolant from the engine when heated during engine operation will expand lifting the springloaded manifold pressure cap and enter the recovery tank by way of the hose connecting the recovery tank to the manifold When the engine is shut down and cools a small check valve in the pressure cap is opened by the contrac255tion of the engine coolant allowing some of the coolant in the recovery tank to be drawn back into the engines cooling system free of air and without loss Westerbeke Diesel Engines 40 COOLING SYSTEM Description Westerbeke marine diesel engines are designed and equipped for fresh water cooling Heat produced in the engine by combustion and friction is transferred to fresh water which circulates throughout the engine This circulating fresh water cools the engine block and its internal moving parts The heat is transferred external255ly from the fresh water to sea water by means of a heat exchanger similar in function to an automotive radiator Sea water flows through the tubes of the heat exchanger while fresh water flows around the tubes engine heat transferred to the fresh water is conducted through the tube walls to the sea water which is then pumped into the exhaust system where finally itis discharged overboard In other words the engine is cooled by fresh water the fresh water is cooled by sea water and the sea water carries the transferred heat over the side through the exhaust system The fresh water and sea water circuits are independent of each other Using only fresh water within the engine allows the cooling water passages to stay clean and free from harm255ful deposits The two independent circuits and their components are discussed in the following paragraphs Fresh Water Circuit NOTE Refer to paragraphs A and B in this section for the recommended antifreeze and water mixture to be used as the fresh water coolant and for information on filling the fresh water sys255tem Fresh water is pumped through the engine by a beltdriven Circulating pump absorbing heat from the en255gine The fresh water coolant circulates through the engines block absorbing heat then passes through the thermostat into the exhaust manifold to the heat exchanger where it is cooled and then is returned to the engine block through the suction side of the fresh water circulating pump When the engine is started cold external fresh water flow is prevented by the closed thermostat although some fresh water flow is bypassed around the thermostat to prevent exhaust manifold from overheatingAs the engine warms up the thermo255stat gradually opens allowing full flow of the engines fresh water coolant to flow unrestricted to the external portion of the cooling system A Fresh Water Coolant It is recommended that a freshwater and antifreeze mixture be used yearround Water when it freezes ex255pands sufficiently to split the heat exchanger and crack the engine block A mixture of proper concentration will prevent freezing see page 40 for an mixture chartUse soft water with few impurities such as tap water potable wateror rainwater Never use hard or foul water Use of hard water or water containing impurities will lead to the collection of scale in the engine and heat exchanger which will reduce the cooling systems efficiency Antifreeze 01 poor quality or without rust inhibitors will cause corrosion within the cooling system Always use antifreeze which is compatible with aluminum cooling system components and is made by a reliable manufacturer Never mix different brands 01 antifreeze Make sure that the cooling system of the engine is well cleaned before adding antifreeze Recommended an255tifreeze for year round use is ZEREX or PRESTONE with rust inhibitors In order to control the concentration of the mixture mix the antifreeze and freshwater

engines controls Know the location of this control before attempting to start the engine To stop the en255gine pull out on this tee handle or knob fully and hold it out until the engine comes to a complete stop Push back on this control to return it to the engine run position otherwise the engine will not restart With the engine stopped turn the key switch to the OFF position 12 oclockIf the key switch is left ON the battery will discharge The alarm buzzer will sound in the Admirals Panel but not in the Captains Panel should the key switch be left ON The best method of preventing the battery from discharge is to remove the key from the key switch after stopping the engine CAUTION DO NOT attempt to shutdown the engine by turning the key switch OFF The key switch only provides power to the instrument panel the engine will continue running even if the key switch is turned OFF An optional key shutoff package is available however This option allows the operator to shutoff the en255gine by turning the key switch OFF which turns OFF an electrically run Fuel Run Solenoid This electrical shutoff option is installed at the factory upon the specific requestorder of the BreakIn Procedures Although your engine has experienced a minimum of one hour of test operations to ensure accurate as255sembly and proper operation of all systems breakin time is required The service life of your engine is de255pendent upon how the engine is operated and serviced during its initial hours of use Your new engine requires approximately 50 hours of initial conditioning operation to break in each moving part in order to maximize the performance and service life of the engine Perform this conditioning careful255ly keeping in mind the following 1 Start the engine according to the STARTING PROCEDURE section found on page 26 run the engine at fast idle while checking that all systems sea water pump oil pressure battery chargingare function255ing 2 Allow the engine to warm up preferably by running at fast idleuntil the water temperature gauge moves into the 1301400 F range 3 While using the vessel run the engine at varying engine speeds for the first 25 hours 4 Avoid rapid acceleration especially with a cold engine 5 Use caution not to overload the engine The presence of a gray or black exhaust and the inability of the engine to reach ITS full rated speed are signs of an overload 6 During the neX1 25 hours the engine may be operated at varying engine speeds with short runs at full rated speed Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods of time Westerbeke Diesel Engines 28 Once the engine starts run it at idle for a few minutes to warm up the engine and check instruments for proper oil pressure and battery charging voltage Never attempt to engage the starter while the engine is running NOTE Some unstable running may occur in a cold engine but this condition should smooth out as the operating temperature of 170 190 F 77 88 Cis reached 27 Westerbeke Diesel Engines button Check NOTE An alarm buzzer is supplied with every Admiral Panel The installer is responsible for electrically connecting the buzzer to the fourpin connection on the engines electrical har255ness The installer is also responsible for installing the buzzer in a dry location so that it will be audible to the operator should it sound while the engine is running The buzzer will sound when the ignition key is turned ON and should silence when the engine has started and when the engines oil pressure rises above 15 psi 25 Westerbeke Diesel Engines 56Iarm The alarm is located above the lest button and will sound if the engines oil pressure falls below 15 psi In this event the alarm will emil apulsating signal The alarm will also sound if the water tempera255ture in the fresh

TIME meter which measures the engines running time in HOURS and in 110 hours The panel also includes a water temperature gauge which indicates water temperature in degrees Fahrenheit WATER Fan oil pressure gauge which measures the engines oil pressure in pounds per square inch OIL PSIand a DC control circuit voltage gauge which measures the systems voltage VOLTSAll gauges are illuminated when the key switch is turned ON and remain illuminated while the engine is in operation The panel also contains two rubberbooted push buttons one for PREHEAT and one for START 1 Key Switch The Key Switch provides power only to the instrument cluster Refer to the STOPPING PROCEDURE section of this manual page 28 2 PREHEAT The PREHEAT button activates the alternators exciter the engines glow plugs and bypas255ses the engines protective oil pressure switch In addition this button is energizes the START button 3 SI8BI The START button when pressed energizes the starters solenoid which cranks the engine This button will not operate electrically unless the PREHEAT button is pressed and held at the same time Weslerbeke Diesel Engines 24 When this Description of Starting System Westerbeke diesel engines use electric starters assisted by glow plugs for both normal and cold weather starting The figure below shows a crosssectional view of one cylinder The glow plug is located in the com255bustion chamber so that its tip is in the injector nozzles spray path When the glow plug is energized by the PREHEAT button the plug glows red at the tip and assists in igniting the fuel The result is a rapid start with less wear on the starter This system is common to Westerbeke Diesels The start circuitry is designed so that the PREHEAT button must be depressed for the time specified in the Preheat chart shown on page 26 Then while keeping the PREHEAT button engaged the START button is depressed to crank the engine GLOW PLUG Combustion Chamber NOTE The START button will not energize unless the PREHEAT button is depressed When depressing the preheat switch we are activating the glow plugs in the cylinder head so use the preheat Intermittently so as not to overheat the glow plugs Westerbeke Diesel Engines 22 PREPARATION FOR STARTING This section of the manual provides the operator with preparation initial starting breakin starting cold or warmand stopping procedures Follow the procedures as presented for the conditions indicated and your Westerbeke engine set will give you reliable performance and long service life Fill your engine with oil up to or near the upper limit on the dipstick the installation angle may have an effect on the dipstick readingSelect readily available lubricat255ing oil with an API specification of CC or CD and an SAE number suitable for the temperature in your operating area see page 47For the quantity of oil needed in this engine refer to the SYSTEM SPECIFICATION section of this manual page 8 Fill the transmission to the FULL mark on the dipstick with the correct lubricant Refer to the SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual page 9Each unit is supplied with a coolant recovery kit 24977as standard equipment to which the following applies UPPER LIMIT IEORMAL LEVELLOWER LIMIT A Remove the pressure cap from the engines exhaust manifold and slowly fill the engines cooling sys255tem wtth a mixture of water and antifreeze suitable for your temperature zone See the COOLING SyS255TEM section of this manual page 39Operate the engine and observe the coolant level in the manifold Maintain this level 10 the base of the filler neck Once the engine reaches its operating temperature 170 1900 Fensure that there is coolant flow to the domestic water heaters when installed Top off the cooling system and install the pressure cap B Make sure the plastic recovery tank is property mounted near the untt with the bracket providedin a location where it can be monitored and filled easily The recovery tank should be mounted at manifold level or above In these installations that require it the plastic recovery tank can be mounted below the exhaust manifolds level C Add coolant to the plastic tank aiter the engine has been started and operating temperature has been reached to ensure that all air is expelled from the manHold and the engines cooling system With the manifold filled and the pressure cap installed fill the plastic recovery tank half full Monitor daily and add coolant as needed Fill the fuel tank with a good grade of NO2 diesel fuel and prime the fuel system up to the engine see page 31When returning fuel is free of air the engines fuel system is bled and the engine is ready to start NOTE When the PREHEAT is depressed the glow plugs in the cylinder head are ener255gized use the PREHEAT switch intermittently to prevent overheating the glow plugs Ensure that the Installation Checks have been made in accordance with those specified in the CHECKS section of this manual refer to page 1021 Westerbeke Diesel Engines AdobeUCSnot smoke AdobeUCSand return high water Exhaust System Failures When the engines sea water is fed into an exhaust system so that the full stream of this water strikes a sur255face erosion takes place This erosion may cause premature failures The proper design of either a water jacketed or water injected Wet exhaust system to prevent this problem requires that the sea water inlet be positioned so that the entering stream of sea water does not directly strike a surface In addition the velocity of the entering sea water stream should be as low as possible which can be achieved by having inlet fittings as big in diameter as possible The best protection against exhaust system leaks is to routinely inspect the complete exhaust system Check for leaks around manifolds gaskets and welds Make sure exhaust lines are not heating surrounding areas excessively If excessive heat is present correct the situation immediately If you notice a change in the sound or appearance of the exhaust system inspect the exhaust system and correct the cause Exhaust risers installed off the exhaust manifold should not exceed 8 Ibs in total weight when rigidly con255nected Excessive weight and vibration can result in a manifold failure andor the fracturing of the riser from the manifold at Its attachment Dry portions of the exhaust connected to the manifold which lay before the water injected exhaust system MUST be properly insulated to retain the exhaust heat within the exhaust pipe IWARNINGI Although diesel engine exhaust gases are not as toxic as exhaust fumes from gasoline en255gines carbon monoxide is present in diesel exhaust fumes in less concentration Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas that can cause and is potentially lethal Some of the symptoms or signs of carbon monoxide inhalation or poisoning are as follows o Dizziness o Vomiting o I ntense Headache o Muscular Twitching o Weakness and Sleepiness o Throbbing in Temples If you experience any of the above symptoms get out into fresh air immediately Make sure there are no unnecessary objects suspended from any portion of the exhaust lines Excessive weight could cause deflection or distortion of the lines resulting in damage or leaks Inspect insulated por255tions of the exhaust system to ensure there is no deterioration of the insulation Oil Drain An oil sump drain hose is installed on the engine with the discharge end secured by a bracket at the front of the engine Oil may be drained from this hose by removing the cap and the discharge end of the hose from the support bracket and lowering the hose into a container The hose cap fitting is 14 inch NPT National Pipe Tapand can be extended or have a pump added for easier removal of the old oil if desired 17 Westerbeke Diesel Engines hose must Exhaust System The exhaust system provides an outlet line to vent engine exhaust gases out of and away from the vessel The system also discharges sea water which has passed through the engines sea water circuit by mixing it with hot exhalJst gases This mixing helps cool the exhaust gases and exhaust elbow and plumbing The ex255haust system and the sea water supply to the exhaust must be configured to prevent the siphoning of sea water into the exhaust through the sea water cooling circuit and to prevent the entry of sea water into the ex255haust through the circuits thruhull discharge port If not prevented sea water entering through the dis255charge port can lill the exhaust system muffler and enter the engines cylinders This will prevent proper starting and possibly cause damage to internal engine components The sea water supply hose to the exhaust system water injection elbow should be routed loopedat least 12 inches above the vessel water line An antiSiphon break should be installed when needed at the top of this loop The top of the loop should be placed high enough above the vessels water line so as to remain above the water line when the vessel is underway no matter what the angle of heel or roll may be ENCINE INSTALLATIONS WITH EXHAUST INJECTEDELBOW MINIMUM OF 6 INCHES ABOVE VESSELWATER LINE 6267 ENGINE INSTALLATIONS WITH EXHAUST

recommended exhaust system installations 15 Weslerbeke Diesel Engines AdobeUCSTake plenty of time in making this alignment and do not be satisfied with anything less than perfect results The alignment is correct when the shaft can be easily slipped backward and forward into the counterbore and when a feeler gauge indicates thaI the flanges come together at all points The alignment between the propeller shaft coupling and the engines coupling can contain an error no greater than one thousandth of an inch per inch of the coupling diameter For ex255ample if your propeller shaft coupling is three inches in diameter the maximum error thaI can be allowed in the alignment is three thousandths of an inch 003I n making the final check for alignment the engines half coupling should be held in one position and the alignment with the propeller coupling tested with the propeller coupling in each offour positions Awhile rotaled 900 be255tween each position This test will also check whetherthe propellers halfcoupling is in exact alignment on its shaft Then keeping the propeller coupling in one position the align255ment should be checked by rotating the engines halfcoupling in 900 increments checking dimension A while in each 900 posi255tion until the halfcoupling has been rotated lull circle The engines alignment should be rechecked after the boat has been in service lor one 10 three weeks and If necessary perform the alignment again Usually it will be found that the engine is no longer in alignment This does not mean Ihat the work has been done im255properly at first rather it means Iha the boat has taken some time to take its final shape and that the engines bed and stringers have probably absorbed some moisture It may even be necessary to realign the coupling hal255ves again at a later time Weslerbeke Diesel Engines 14 333 FEELER GAGE PROPELLER SHAFT Propeller Coupling The propeller shaft coupling fitted to the transmissions output flange must transmit not only the power of the engine to turn the propeller shaft and propeller but must also transmit the thrust of the either ahead or astern The coupling bore should be carefully machined for a slight forced fit onto the shaft and an accurate mating surtace for the coupling to the output flange of the transmission For all engine models a propeller halfcoupling bored to shaft size for the specific order is supplied The coupling either has a keyway with set screws or is of the clamping type The fOlWard end of the propeller shaft has a long straight keyway Any burrs should be removed from the shafts end The coupling should be a light drive fit on the shaft and the shaft should not have to be scraped down or filed in order to get a fit It is important that the key be properly fitted both to the shaft and to the coupling The key should fit the side of the keyway closely but should not touch the top of the keyway in the hub of the coupling If driving the coupling over the shaft is difficult the coupling can be expanded by heating it in a pail of boil255ing water The face of the propeller coupling must be exactly perpendicular to the centerline or axis of the propeller shaft Propeller The type and size of propeller varies with the gear ratio and must be selected to fit the application based upon boat tests To utilize the full power of the engine and to achieve ideal loading conditions use a propeller which will permit the engine to reach its full rated RPM at full throttle while under a normal load and while it is moving the boat fOlWard through the water See pages 53 and 56Alignment of the Engine The engine must be exactly aligned with the propeller shaft in the proper fashion No matter what material is used to build a boat the material will be found to be flexible to some extent hence the boats hull will change its shape to a greater extent than is usually realized when the boat is launched and operated in the water Therefore it becomes extremely important to check the engines alignment at frequent intervals and to correct any errors when they appear Misalignment between the engine and the propeller shaft often creates serious problems which are often blamed on other areas suspected of causing the trouble Misalignment will cause excessive bearing wear rapid shaft wear and will in many cases reduce the life of the boats hull by loosening the hulls fastenings A bent propeller shaft will have the exact effect as those just stated therefore a pertectly straight propeller shaft is absolutely necessary One particularly annoying result of misalignment may be leakage of oil through the transmissions rear oil seal If oil is leaking from this seal check and make sure that the couplings alignment is within the limits prescribed on page 14 Never attempt a final alignment with the boat on land The boat should be in the water and have had an op255portunity to assume its final water form The best time to pertorm the propeller coupling alignment is with the fuel and water tanks about half full and all the usual equipment on board and after the main mast has been stepped and the final rigging has been accomplished 13 Westerbeke Diesel Engines Engine Bolts Bronze or stainless steel hanger bolts of appropriate size are recommended for use through the engines flexible mounts Less preferred are lag screws because their hold on the wood is weakened every time they are moved whereas the hanger bolts stay in position If the nut on top of the hanger bolt is removed to allow the engine to be lifted from its resting place the hanger bolt itself remains in place as a stud the bond between the hanger bolt and the wood is not weakened by the removal of the nut or the engine Foundation for the Engine A good engine bed contributes much toward the satisfactory operation of the engine The engines bed must be rigidly constructed and neither deflect nor twist when it is subjected to the engines weight or to the pressures that the boat may experience while operating in rough seas The bed must keep the engines alignment within one or two thousandths of an inch of this position at all times The bed has to withstand the forward push of the propeller shaft which pushes against the thrust washer bearing which finally pushes against the engines bolts and bed In fiberglass hulls we recommend that similar wooden stringers as in wooden hulls be formed fitted and then glassed securely to the hull This allows the hanger bolts to be installed firmly in the wood thereby reducing noise and transmitted vibration The engine support stringers must be as wide or wider than the engine mounting isolator Isolator overhang andor rounded stringer surfaces are detrimental to the isolators ability to retain vibration Preformed fiberglass engine beds when used should be of sufficient thickness to properly support the en255gine and should be wellglassed to the hull when installed The temptation to install the engine on a pair of fiberglass angle irons must be resisted Such construction will allow engine vibration to pass through to the hull Flexible mounts require a firm foundation against which they must act if they are to perform their function When possible follow bed design A and avoid bed design B refer to the between the bed stringers and extend255ing from the stringers to the hull may be required for proper support and to aid in the absorption of vibrations Westerbeke Diesel Engines GOOD A BAD B Note Avoid excessive height use solid stringer construction Al 12 Rigging lind lilting The engine is fitted lifting eyes Rope or chain slings capable of supporting the engines weight should be attached to the eyes and the engine lifted by means of tackle attached to these slings The lifting eyes have been designed to carry the full weight of the engine therefore auxiliary slings are not required or desired CAUTION Slings must not be so short as to place signijicant sheer stress on the engines lifting eyes Strain placed on the engines lifting eyes by the lifting sling must not be in excess of 10 from the vertical plain ENGINE SLING LIFTING MUST NOT EXCEEO 10267 LIFTING EYE The general rule in moving engines is to see that all of the equipment used is amply strong and firmly fixed in place Move the engine a little at a time and see that IT is firmly supported Eliminate the possibility of ac255cidents by avoiding haste Do nollift the engine by its propeller coupling or pry against this coupling with a crowbar because excessive pressure of this type may distort the coupling In certain situations it may be necessary to lift the engine in positions other than the horizontal position Cer255lain situations exist by which the engine must be lowered endwise through a small hatchway which cannot be made larger Under these conditions if the opening of the hatchway is extremely narrow tt is possible to reduce to some extent the outside dimensions of the engine by removing external components such as the alternator the cooling systems piping the heat exchanger certain filters the mounting lugs and other obstructive equipment This accessory equipment should be removed by a competent mechanic and spe255cial care should be taken to avoid damaging any exposed parts In addition be careful not to allow dirt from entering any opening created by the removal of equipment Parts removed should be returned to their respec255tive position as soon as the engine has cleared the hatchway In case it becomes necessary to hoist the engine either frontend upwards or upwards the attachment of slings must be done carefully to avoid the possibility of damaging the parts on which the weight may bear Special rigging work is best done by someone experienced and competent in handling heavy machinery 11 Westerbeke Diesel Engines CHECKS General Because the crafts in which Westerbeke engines are installed vary in design installation procedures will vary according to your crafts specific design It is not the intent of this section to advise boatyards or installers on procedures and wellunderstood However it is important that the owneroperator realize there are details of the installation which require periodic checks to ensure the best operating condi255tions for the equipment and safe operating conditions for the personnel on board Proper location and 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 en255gine combustion exhaust system to property discharge raw cooling water quiet the exhaust and expel ex255haust gas cooling water supply fuel supply and electrical connections CAUTION For safety reasons the engine and transmission are NOT filled with lubricating oil for ship255ment 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 oil This oil acts as a preservative providing reliable protection against corrosion for at least one year if the engine and transmission are property stored Location The location should be such that it is dry and away from being splashed by bilge water or water from above The engine should be properly ventilated and accessible for minor servicing and repairs access for major repairs should be given consideration as wellThe location must be property ventilated to provide fresh air for engine combustion The engines lubrication oil sump

contains the equipment operating procedures as well as additional information needed to help the operator keep the equipment in proper working order Study and follow the instructions carefully A planned maintenance program is included in this manual adhering to the program will result in better equip255ment performance and longer equipment life Proper diagnosis of a problem is the most important step to satisfactory repair therefore a table is included Understanding the Diesel Engine The diesel engine closely resembles the gasoline engine since the mechanism is essentially the same The cylinders are arranged above a closed crankcase the crankshaft is of the same general type as that of a gasoline engine and the diesel engine has the same type of valves camshaft pistons connecting rods and lubricating system Therefore to a great extent a diesel engine requires the same preventive maintenance as a gasoline engine The most impOltant factors are proper ventilation and proper maintenance of the luel lubricating and cool255ing systems Replacement of fuel and iubricating filter elements at the time periods specified is a must and frequent checking for contamination that is water sediment or allegein the luel system is also essential Another important factor is the use of the same brand of high detel267gent diesel lubricating oil designed lor diesel engines Be careful not to put gasoline in the diesel fuel tanksGasoline does not have the same lubricating qualities as diesel fuel consequently gasoline in the fuel lines will damage components in the fuel lift pump assembly fuel injection pump and injectors The diesel engine does differ from the gasoline engine however in its handling and firing of fuel The car255buretor and ignition systems are done away with and in their place are two components the fuel injection pump and the fuel injectors Ordering Paris When contacting your Westerbeke dealer parts distributor or the factory concerning your
