connected to the prop shaft and exits through a dripless shaft seal lubricated with ATF fluid from a
small plastic reservoir mounted by the fuel tank sight gauge. This drive system means that engine
vibration can be dramatically reduced from the normal drone of Diesels!
Along the centerline aft of the engine
room is the fuel manifold, with a workbench and
toolboxes atop it, while beneath the workbench
is the Onan 9kW generator. At bilge level, there
are a number of seawater strainers and pumps
and other components which can be identified
with careful examination; charterers are not
expected to have to maintain or repair these
units at any time; contact NWE if assistance is
required.
Further aft of the 9kW Onan generator is
a built-in enclosure for the 20kW large Onan
generator. This is accessible through doors on
the enclosure, but, again, call NWE if service is
required. Between the two generator enclosures
are the oil-charge pump and several sea
strainers, plus the primary oil filter for the smaller
generator. To the right (port) of the large
generator enclosure on the forward side of the
port tank are the generator battery switches, a
battery isolator, the oil change pump power
switch, and the port tank's sight gauge and the
port shaft seal lubricant (ATF) reservoir, another
engine room blower, and outboard, the other
engine's muffler.
The port engine has the same shaft and
drive arrangement as starboard. Outboard of the
engine is an aqua-lift muffler/water separator for
the small generator, air-conditioning
compressors, the inverters and a circuit breaker
for the Kabola furnace.
Well outboard on each side of the engine room on a line with the forward end of the engines are
the stabilizer actuators, while just forward of each engine is its dual primary fuel filter with selector
valve. Forward of the port engine is the clothes washer.
Down the center of the bilge flooring in the engine room are the sea strainers for each main
engine and water pumps for the air conditioning and sea water systems.
The washer and dryer are also located in the engine room.
