CAUTION

Prolonged cranking intervals without the engine starting can result in filling the engine-mounted exhaust

system with sea water coolant. This may happen because the sea water pump

pumping sea water

through the sea water cooling system during cranking. This sea water can enter the engine's cylinders by

way

the exhaust manifold once the exhaust system fills. Prevent this from happening by closing the sea

water supply through-hull shut-off, drain the exhaust mufiler, and correct the cause for the excessive

engine cranking needed to obtain a start. Engine damage resulting from this

type

sea water entry is not

a warrantable issue; the owner/operator should keep this

mind.

Replacing the Fuel Filter Element

While

unlikely that the operator will

forced to service the system

sea, the possibility does exist.

Therefore,

is recommended that banjo washers, injector sea washers, a fuel system hardware kit, fuel

filter

and

gasket be carried

board

all times. Select the parts for your engine from the Parts List and

purchase spares from your local Westerbeke Dealer or Distributor. For example, filter kit

#30200 includes

replacement elements with gaskets (items

#21

and 20).

a leak should develop

a fuel banjo or sealing

washer location that cannot be remedied

a slight tightening, the sealing washers

and

banjo bolts

contained

the fuel system hardware kit for your particular model will come

handy to remedy these

leaks.

After the first

50 hours

operation, loosen retainer ring #23 and discard filter element #21. Clean bowl

#22

and

install a new filter using a new #20 gasket. Be careful to catch any fuel that may spill forro

within these fuel assemblies.

After

the

first 50-hour change, the change period may be increased to 200 hours

once

per

season.

The

fuel pump has no filter element within it. The only maintenance it reqnires is to ensure the

connections to it, both fuel

and

electrical, are secure and tight and that fuel supplied to this pump is free

impurities.
