Chapter 11: Electrical Systems
Note the following about the generator:
• Polarity has been established in the installation of the generator(s),
therefore the polarity lights will not function in this mode.
• Fuel to run the main generator is supplied from the port fuel tank.
• In addition to servicing the filters attached to the generator(s), the
filters/separators (located near the fuel line valves) should be ser-
viced as described in the manufacturer's manual.
• The coolant mixture installed at the factory consists of equal parts
of water and antifreeze (Ethylene Glycol).
• The coolant bottle for the generator is located inside the port cock-
pit floor hatch.
• Check the generator's seawater strainer for leaks and/or debris
before each use.
• Oil pressure, water temperature, and voltage gauges are provided
on the generator control panel, inside the AC/DC cabinet on the
port side of the salon. These gauges monitor the engine functions of your generator.
SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
• Make sure the generator's seawater pickup seacock is in the Open position before and
during generator use.
• Never run the generator starter for more than 30 seconds. If the generator does not start,
wait at least 30 seconds before trying again.
• After the generator starts, let the generator stabilize before turning On the component
breakers on the AC panel.
Starting The Generator:
1. Open the generator's seacock valve before starting the generator.
Keep the seacock valve Open while the generator is running.
2. Run the bilge blowers (gas generators only) for a minimum of
four minutes before starting the generator. Leave the blowers on
while the generator is running unless your yacht is up to
cruising speed.
3. Refer to the generator manual for starting and
stopping instructions.
