The operational angles that are permissible in service are a static installation angle of nose up, adding 3 for planing craft, with a heel angle of 25...

  • Page 14: Engine Mounting Brackets

    Chapter 2 N40475 Engine mounting brackets The standard brackets, provide mounting points which are 76mm (3”) below, and parallel with, the crankshaft centre line. The brackets may be used to mount the engine directly on the engine bearers, but for all applications it is recommended that flexible engine mounts are used.

  • Page 15: Flexible Engine Mounts

    N40475 Chapter 2 Flexible engine mounts It is recommended that flexible engine mounts should be used for all applications. The principal purpose of the mounts is to reduce the transmission of vibration from the engine to the hull, but another valuable advantage is that the mountings reduce the shock transmitted from the hull to the engine under adverse weather conditions and also prevent the engine being...

  • Page 16: Engine Bearers

    Chapter 2 N40475 Engine bearers The materials and methods of construction of engine bearers which have proved to be satisfactory in service vary to such an extent that it is difficult to lay down universal guide lines. However, as a rough guide it can be said the engine bearers should be capable of supporting a static load of about eight times the weight of the engine, to cater for the effects of rough seas.

  • Page 17: Propeller Shafts And Couplings

    N40475 Chapter 3 Propeller shafts and couplings Propeller shafts It is recommended that all engines are mounted on flexible mountings (1), which will reduce noise and vibration, and will prevent hull movements resulting in forces being applied to the engine. The responsibility for the design and installation of the transmission system connected to the gearbox lies with the boat designer, the boat builder, the naval architect or...

  • Page 19: Exhaust Systems

    N40475 Chapter 4 Exhaust systems A range of exhaust components are available for use with all types of exhaust system. The components are designed to connect together, allowing complex systems to be built from stock items, to suit most installations. Caution: In all types of exhaust system the exhaust back pressure must not exceed 15kPa, when measured within 305mm (12 inches) of the exhaust...
  • Page 20 Chapter 4 N40475 Figure 2 shows the exhaust elbow (1) with water injection and insulating blanket. The elbow can be rotated (3) to achieve the optimal position. Note: The exhaust elbow must have a fall of 10 downwards. If a taller system is required then a dry 90 elbow (not shown) can be used on the turbocharger outlet with the water injected elbow (1).

  • Page 21: Dry Systems

    N40475 Chapter 4 Dry systems Dry exhaust systems for marine installations need careful design to minimize the disadvantages of enclosing components that are at a high temperature in confined spaces. The first part of a dry system should include a flexible connection so that excessive weight is not carried by the connection to the engine.

  • Page 22: Part Dry, Part Wet Systems

    Chapter 4 N40475 Part dry, part wet systems Even where the engine is mounted well below the waterline the advantages of a wet system can still be gained, providing that water injection takes place at a point sufficiently above the waterline. In these circumstances the part dry, part wet system shown in Figure 5 can be utilised.

  • Page 23: Silencers

    N40475 Chapter 4 Silencers In some applications a reduction in noise levels from the exhaust would be desirable and to that extent, a silencer can be fitted. The exhaust system ejects the cooling water as well as silencing the engine’s combustion noise and removing the exhaust gases.

  • Page 25: Engine Room Ventilation

    N40475 Chapter 5 Engine room ventilation The engine room must be ventilated for two reasons: To supply the engine with air for combustion. To provide a flow of air through the engine room to prevent an excessive temperature build up, which may cause components such as the alternator to overheat.

Stop cock. Vent. Figure 1 Drain. In some applications there may be legislation that requires that fuel lines draw from, and return to , the top of the tank.
  • Page 32 Chapter 7 N40475 In some cases it is necessary to have a number of fuel tanks in order to achieve the required operating range. In such cases, where possible, one tank should be regarded as the main tank for each engine and the other tanks should be arranged so that they will drain into the main tank by gravity.
