If
you have any doubt about the position of the water-injected exhaust elbow relative
to the vessel's waterline under the vessel's various operating conditions, install a
siphon-break.
NOTE: A
siphon-break requires periodic inspection and cleaning to ensure proper
operation. Failure to properly maintain a siphon-break can result in catastrophic
engine damage. Consult the siphon-break manufacturer for proper maintenance.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
The exhaust system's hose MUST be certified for marine use. Corrugated Marine
Exhaust Hose is recommended. The use of this type of hose allows for extreme bends
and turns without the rieed of additional fitting and clamps to accomplish these bends
and turns. In this regard, a single length of corrugated exhaust hose can be used. The
system MUST be designed to prevent the entry of water into the exhaust system
under any sea conditions and at any angle of vessels heel.
A detailed Marine Installation Manual covering gasoline and diesel,
engines and generators, is supplied with each unit.
