Hose connections
To ease the fitting of the hose to the hose connector, use only
water and/or soap, NOT grease or products containing oil.
Fit each hose connection with 2 stainless steel 12 mm (0.5")
wide hose clamps.

Installation Examples

Exhaust systems with an exhaust silencer type LP/LSS/LSG,
and silencer type MP , goose neck type LT and a transom con-
nection are shown on page 15.
Entry of water from the aft is almost completely prevented by
the extra height difference in the goose neck.
When the engine is stopped, any water which is still in the
exhaust pipe (between the highest point in the exhaust system
and the exhaust silencer) will run back to the exhaust silencer.
Prevention of syphoning (drawings 5 & 6)
If the water injection point 'C' is below, or less than 15 cm (0.6")
above the waterline (also when the ship heels under sail), there
is a risk that when the engine is stopped, the coolant water
will enter the engine due to syphoning. This syphoning can be
prevented in two ways:
 By creating an air vent system in the coolant water hose
between engine block and water injection point 'C', by fitting
an air vent with air vent pipe, for example.
 By fitting an air vent (with valve) in the coolant water hose
between the engine block and water injection point 'C'.

Maintenance
Check all hose connections for gas and water leaks regularly.
Before the winter lay-up, drain the exhaust silencer. The exhaust
silencer has a drain plug for this purpose.
