SIPHON-BREAK
For installations where the exhaust manifold/water injected exhaust elbow is close to
or will be below the vessel's waterline, provisions must be made to install a siphon-
break in the raw
water
supply hose to the exhaust elbow.
This
hose must
be
looped a
minimum of20" above the vessel's waterline.
Failure
to
use
a
siphon-break· when
the exlumst manifold injection port
is
at or
beluw
the
load
waterline
will
result in
raw water damage to the engine and
po~rible
flooding of
