TP-5695 12/936-12 Installation

A typical silencer should be mounted no more than 4 ft.

(1.2 m) below the highest point in the exhaust line.

Attach a separate wood mounting base to hull stringers

or other suitable structure. Then secure the silencer to

hull using silencer manufacturer’s recommendation. Be

sure the silencer outlet is not more than 10 horizontalft.

(3 m) from the engine exhaust manifold outlet. UL

marine exhaust hose should be used.

WARNING

Explosion.

Gasoline vapors can cause explosion and

severe injury or death.

Before starting generator set, operate blower 4

minutes and check engine compartment for

gasoline vapors.

Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or

death. Gasoline vapors can explode and can cause

death or severe injury. USCG Regulation 33CFR183

requires all electrical devices (ship-to-shore transfer

switch,remotestartpanel,etc.)tobe“ignitionprotected”

whenusedinagasoline(gaseous)-fueledenvironment.

These electrical devices are not “ignition protected” and

are not certified to operate in a gasoline

(gaseous)-fueled environment such as engine room or

near fuel tanks. Acceptable locations would be

water splash.

WARNING

Hazardous voltage.

Do not operate generator set without all guards

and electrical enclosures in place.

Moving rotor.

Can cause severe injury or death.

Hazardous “backfeed” voltage can cause severe

injury or death. Do not connect to any building/marina

electrical system without connecting through an

approved device and after building mainswitch is open.

and/or personnel in the vicinity. Unauthorized

connection may be unlawful in some states and/or

localities. A ship-to-shore transfer switch must be

installed to prevent interconnection of generator set

power and shore power.

AC connections to generator set are made inside the

Installation in Steel or

Aluminum Vessels

Installation of a generator set in a vessel constructedof

a material capable of conducting current (e.g.: steel or

aluminum) is subject to considerations not normally

encountered in fiberglass or wood vessels. These

differences include equipment grounding, grounding of

neutral conductors, ground fault protection, and

isolation of galvanic currents.

While the scope of these topics is too extensive to be

fully discussed here, references to the appropriate

governing bodies will be identified for further

investigation.

The information provided here is intended to serve as a

guideline to boat manufacturers and generator set

installers. This information is not intended or implied to

be limited to these sources and is subject to revision by

the appropriate governing bodies.

Prior to installing the generator set, check the wiring

diagrams to become familiar with the electrical system.

Generator sets installed in pleasure craft are governed

by the U.S. Coast Guard and the American Boat and

Yacht Council, Inc. Compliance with U.S. Coast Guard

Regulationsgiven inTitle33, Part183must be followed.

Generator sets installed in pleasure craft require a

grounded neutral system as specified in ABYC E-8.4.b.

Various wiring configurations are illustrated in ABYC

Standards E-8.22 through E-8.29. Grounding of

appliances and equipment is covered in ABYC E-8.12.
