SECTION 3 - Installation1. Ventilation• All internal combustion engines radiate heat and require cool, clean air to aid completecombustion.• Please ensure that adequate engine room ventilation is provided, by fitting at least twovents of an aperture of not less than 10,000 mm 2 each, (16 in 2 ).An allowance must be made for any grills, louvres or bends placed in the airflowsand generally an increase of 25% in area is sufficient to overcome any restrictionproblems.2. Engine Beds• These should be a minimum of 10mm thick, extended rearward and be welded to thehull and forward to the bulkhead. Webs or gussets must be welded in place midway toprevent flexing.3. Cooling System• Ensure pipe work to and from the skin tanks is of sufficient bore. A minimum of 35mm(1 3 / 8 ") is recommended. Ensure tight bends and elbows are avoided or kept to aminimum.4. Skin Tanks• The ideal skin tank internal thickness is between 50 and 75mm, the table below willindicate a suitable tank size. However, volume will not compensate for lack of surfacearea. It should be recognised that fitting a large calorifier will increase the theoreticalcooling capacity only until it is up to temperature. It is unlikely that a boat on the inlandwaterways will operate at full power for long periods of time. The engine cooling wateroutlets are on the right hand (starboard) side of the engine.RDG6039039 - Issue 4 - Shire09 Complete Manual Page 9 of 45
