KINGFISHER DIESELS LIMITED
MARINE ENGINE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The reliability of your Kingfisher propulsion unit is
dependant on the quality of the installation . Almost all
marine engine problems are caused by poor installation.
These instructions must be followed strictly . Please read
them through completely before starting any part of the
installation . Disregard of any part of these instructions
may void the warranty and incur call out charges.

20 HOUR SERVICE
All Kingfisher engines must be serviced after the first 20
hours and not later than 30 hours' running from new . If a
boat is still in the hands of its builder or his agent at this
time, they are responsible for arranging the work in
conjunction with the owner (who is liable for the cost).
.DELIVERY .
All engines should be carefully inspected for damage on
delivery and the carriers and ourselves notified immediately
in there is any sign of possible damage . If we do not notify
the carriers within 48 hours, no claim can be accepted.
GENERAL LAYOUT
Please give consideration to service engineers who will need
access to the engine, in particular oil and fuel filters, oil
removal points, rocker cover, injectors and Jabsco pump.
Inadequate access is likely to cause delays and expense in
future.
Engines are often enclosed whilst running . If this is not so,
ensure that the engine is protected from the weather, and that
all moving parts such as belts and the flywheel are properly
guarded, especially if children are likely to be on board.
ENGINE BEARERS
Engine bearers must have sufficient stiffness and strength to
withstand not only the engine running normally, but also the
thrust from the propeller and, importantly, shock loads should
the propeller become jammed by debris . Substantial
