  • Page 22: Coolant

    Coolant  Prepare coolant mix of 50% clean tap water and 50% antifreeze.  Open the calorifier taps (if fitted) to fill the calorifier system and displace air.  To fill the cooling system for the first time, fill the boat skin tank via the inlet hose connection or filler plug if fitted.

  • Page 23: Domestic Battery Bank

    Domestic Battery Bank Domestic battery banks that are too large create excessive loads on the domestic alternator. Alternators running at maximum output for prolonged periods of time will eventually fail prematurely; alternators that fail due to the battery bank being over the maximum recommended size will not be covered by warranty.

    must be observed. Bobtail engines (i.e. Engines supplied without a marine gearbox), normally do not have a gearbox oil cooler fitted, however if a cooler is supplied, this will only be suitable to cool a conventional marine gearbox. Hydraulic drive transmissions generate far more heat than a conventional marine gearbox, therefore the size of oil cooler installed must be calculated by the hydraulic drive transmission supplier;...

  • Page 30: Diesel Fuel Additive

    Fuel Diesel Additive The use of diesel fuel additive is strongly recommended on Shanks & Shire engines. The quality of the fuel available when cruising is often unknown; also the fuel may have been in storage for long periods of time. The use of additives will ensure that your engine fuel injection system is in top condition which should result in many years of smooth reliable operation without the cost and inconvenience of expensive breakdowns due to poor quality fuel.
