Mounting Holes)
There are four 1/2-inch bolt holes in each generator mounting rail to
properly secure the generator to its mounting platform.
Location
The location
should
be
such that it
is ..9!..,y,
above low-lying
vapor
areas, and away from being splashed by bilge water or water from above.
It should be properly ventilated and accessible for minor
servicing
and repairs.
Access for major repairs should be given consideration
as well.
The
location must be properly ventilated to provide the
fresh
cooling air
for

engine combustion.
Hot generator discharge air must be removed from the generator area.
The platform on which the generator is mounted should be strong enough
to
support
the
generator

rails
fastened to it at all angles of vessel operation.
