Section 2 Location and Mounting
2.1General Considerations
The key to installation is location. Before making final
plans for locating a generator set, consider the
following.
Installation Location Considerations
1. Choose a location that allows adequate space for
cooling and exhaust system installation, fuel
system installation, ventilation, and service access
to the generator set (engine and generator).
2. Use craft stringers or other available structural
members capable of supporting the generator set’s
weight.
3. Seal the generator set compartment from the cabin
to prevent exhaust gases and fuel vapors from
entering the cabin.
See the current generator set specification sheet or
Section 7 of this manual for generator set dimensions
and weights. See Figure 1-1 for a typical installation.
m:is:101:001
2.2Location
Locate the generator set to allow easy service access to
the generator set’s engine, controller, cooling, and fuel
system components. The engine compartment is often
the ideal location for the generator set if the propulsion
engine(s) does not obstruct access to the generator set
and controller.
Allow clearance for vibration and cooling during
operation.Allow a minimum of 38 mm (1.5 in.)
clearance on all sides (top, front, rear, and sides) of a
generator set without an optional sound shield. Refer to
the instruction sheet for minimum clearances for
sound-shielded units. Also, allow space for the power
takeoff (PTO) option, if equipped.
Diesel generator sets are not ignition-protected. USCG
Regulation 183.410 requires ignition-protected devices
only in gasoline/gaseous-fueled environments.
2.3Mounting
Mount the generator set as high as possible to avoid
contact with bilge splash and lower-lying vapors and to
allow for downward pitch of the exhaust line toward the
exhaust outlet.
Craft stringers generally provide the best generator set
support.Ensure that the structural members can
support the generator set’s weight and withstand its
vibration.
The generator set includes vibration mounts and a
mounting tray or skid.If desired, install additional
vibration isolating pads underneath the generator set’s
base.
Use the four mounting holes in the mounting tray to
mount the generator set securely to the craft.
For angular operating limits, consult the operation
manual.
Marine Generator Set Installations in
European Union Member Countries
This generator set is specifically intended and approved
forinstallation belowthedeckinthe engine
compartment.Installation above the deck and/or
outdoors would constitute a violation of European Union
Directive 2000/14/EC noise emission standard.
TP-6069 6/033Section 2 Location and Mounting
Notes
TP-6069 6/034Section 2 Location and Mounting
3.1Ventilation
Engine combustion, generator cooling, and expulsion of
flammable and lethal fumes require ventilation. Provide
ventilation compliant with USCG Regulations governing
sizing of vents and other considerations.
As a rule, size each inlet- and outlet-vent area to a
minimum of 13 sq. cm/30.5 cm (2 sq. in. per ft.) of the
craft’s beam.Should this rule conflict with USCG
Regulations, follow USCG Regulations. For applications
with screened inlets, double the size (4 sq. in. per ft.) of
the hull/deck openings. Extend the vent ducts to bilges to
expel heavier-than-air fumes.
Section 3 Cooling System
1
2
3
For generator sets mounted in the engine compartment,
increase the air flow to allow for the generator set’s
requirements.Install optional detection devices to
cause alarm, warning, or engine shutdown should
dangerous fumes accumulate in the compartment.
See the generator set specification sheet that shipped
with the generator set for air requirements. The air intake
silencer/cleaner provides combustion air to the engine.
Do not compromise the recommended minimum
clearance of 38 mm (1.5 in.) between a duct opening and
enclosure wall. The engine/generator performance will
decline if you compromise these guidelines.See
Figure 3-1 for allowable intake restriction.
Note: ISO 3046 derates apply. See Appendix C.

The marine generator set’s cooling system requires the
following components.
43
3.2.1Intake Through-Hull Strainer
(Seacock Cover)
Install a screened-intake, through-hull strainer to
prevent entry of foreign objects.Use perforated,
slotted-hole, or unrestricted-hole design strainers. See
Figure 3-2 for examples of typical strainers. The inner
diameter of the strainer opening must be equal to or
greater than the inner diameter of the water-line hose to
the seawater pump.
TP-6069 6/035Section 3 Cooling System
Note: Position the intakes in relation to the vessel’s
travel so neither is in the wake of the other.
1. Generator set intake
2. Main engine intake
3. Aft (rearward)
4. Fore (forward)
Figure 3-3Intake Strainer
1-789
Do not use a speed scoop or cup design intake
through-hull strainer because it can cause a ramming
effect and force water upward, past the seawater pump,
and into the engine cylinders when the vessel is moving
and the generator set is shut down.
Do not use hulls incorporating sea chests or other
designs that provide a positive pressure to the raw water
pump for the intake through-hull strainers.Positive
pressure forces water past the raw water pump and into
the engine. A sea chest is a concave molded-in-the-hull
chamber that aligns to the vessel’s direction of travel. A
sea chest configuration applies positive pressure similar
to a scoop-type through-hull strainer.
3.2.2Seacock
Mount the seacock to the hull, assemble it to the intake,
and ensure that it is accessible for operation. Figure 3-2
shows a typical installation.
Avoid overcaulking the seacock. Excess caulk reduces
water flow and, in some cases, develops a barrier that
can force water upward, past the seawater pump, and
into the engine cylinders when the vessel is moving and
the generator set is shut down.
3.2.4Water Lines
Water lines from the seacock to the engine-driven
seawater pump are usually constructed of flexible hose.
Connect a flexible section of hose to the seawater pump
to allow the generator set to vibrate during operation.
Support a nonflexible water line within 102 mm (4 in.) of
its connection to the flexible section.
Keep the seawater hose as straight and short as
possible. If the hose is too long, usually over 4.6 m
(15 ft.), water draw problems may occur. See Section 7
for the inlet water line hose size and the seawater
connection to the seawater pump inlet. Avoid running
the inlet pipe above the generator. See Figure 3-5 for
the seawater hose connection to the seawater pump
inlet.
3.2.3Seawater Strainer
Mount the seawater strainer to the seacock or
permanent structure at a point not higher than the
seawater pump. Ensure that the strainer is accessible
for service. See Figure 3-4 for a typical installation.
Some seawater strainers include a seacock and an
intake through-hull strainer.
Maximum seawater inletpressure at the seawater pump
is 34.5 kPa (5 psi). Excessive pressure will cause water
ingestion.
A closed heat exchanger is the best cooling method for
most applications. See Figure 3-6 or Figure 3-7 for a
typical installation.Provide space to access the
water-cooled exhaust manifold pressure cap.

WARNING
Carbon monoxide.
Cancauseseverenausea,
fainting, or death.
The exhaust system must be leakproof
and routinely inspected.
Carbon monoxide symptoms. Carbon monoxide can
cause severe nausea, fainting, ordeath. Carbon monoxide
is a poisonous gas present in exhaust gases.Carbon
monoxide poisoning symptoms include but are not limited to
the following:
D Light-headedness, dizziness
D Physical fatigue, weakness in
joints and muscles
D Sleepiness, mental fatigue,
inability to concentrate
or speak clearly, blurred vision
D Stomachache, vomiting, nausea
If experiencing any of these symptoms and carbon monoxide
poisoning is possible, seek fresh air immediately and remain
active. Do not sit, lie down, or fall asleep. Alert others to the
possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning. Seek medical
attention if the condition of affected persons does not improve
within minutes of breathing fresh air.
Inspecting the exhaust system. Carbon monoxide can
cause severe nausea, fainting, or death. For the safety of
the craft’s occupants, install a carbon monoxide detector.
Consult the boat builder or dealer for approved detector
location and installation. Inspect the detector before each
generator set use. In addition to routine exhaust system
inspection, test the carbon monoxide detector per the
manufacturer’s instructions and keep the detector operational
at all times.
Operating thegenerator set. Carbon monoxidecan cause
severe nausea, fainting, or death. Carbon monoxide is an
odorless, colorless,tasteless, nonirritating gas that can cause
death if inhaled for even a short time. Use the following
precautions when installing and operating the generator set.
Do not install the exhaust outlet where exhaust can be drawn
in through portholes,vents, or airconditioners. If the generator
set exhaust discharge outlet is near the waterline, watercould
enter the exhaust discharge outlet and closeor restrictthe flow
of exhaust.Never operate the generator set without a
functioning carbonmonoxide detector. Be especially careful if
operating the generator set when moored or anchored under
calm conditions because gases may accumulate. If operating
the generator set dockside, moor the craft so that the exhaust
discharges on the lee side (the side sheltered from the wind).
Always be aware of others, making sure your exhaust is
directed away from other boats and buildings.Avoid
overloading the craft.
4.1Types
Kohlerr generator sets covered in this manual use
either wet or dry exhaust systems. Dry exhaust systems
are common in commercial applications.See the
engine manual for specifications.
4.2Exhaust Lines
Usewater-cooledexhaustlinesinallmarine
installations. Keep the lines as short and straight as
possible.NFPA 302 Fire Protection Standard for
Pleasure and Commercial Motor Craft, Clause 4-3,
recommends usingtwocorrosion-resistanthose
clamps with a minimum width of 13 mm (1/2 in.) on each
end ofthe flexibleexhaust hoseconnections.
Kohler Co. requires a downward pitch of at least 13 mm
per 30.5 cm (1/2 in. per running foot). Use a flexible
exhaust hose that conforms to UL Standard 1129 for the
engine’s wet exhaust components between the mixer
elbow and the exhaust outlet.
TP-6069 6/0311Section 4 Exhaust System
4.3Exhaust System Location,
Mounting, and Installation
Mount the silencer independently to eliminate stress on
the exhaust system and the exhaust manifold/mixer
elbow. See Section 7 for the mixer elbow water line hose
size. See Figure 4-1 for the exhaust connection to the
mixer elbow. Provide an adequate hose length from the
exhaust mixer to the silencer to allow for generator set
movement.
Locate the exhaust outlet at least 10 cm (4 in.) above the
waterline when the craft is loaded to maximum capacity.
Install an exhaust port with the flap at the exhaust
(transom) outlet to prevent water backup in following
seas or when moving astern (backward). A lift in the
exhaust piping before the piping exits the craft prevents
backwash. See Figure 4-4, item 1. Support the exhaust
lines to prevent the formation of water pockets.
Exhaust system installation guidelines for various
generator set locations follow.Information and
illustrations of stern- (rear) exhaust installations also
apply to side-exhaust installations. Where exhaust lines
require passage through bulkheads, use port (left)- or
starboard (right)-side exhaust outlets,also in
applications in which long exhaust lines to the transom
(rear) could cause excessive back pressure.See
Figure 4-3 for allowable back pressures. Should any
information regarding installation conflict with USCG
Regulations, follow USCG Regulations.

Installing the fuel system. Explosive fuel vapors can
cause severe injury or death. Fuel leakage can cause an
explosion. Do not modify the tank orthe propulsion engine fuel
system. Equip the craft with a tank that allows one of the two
pickup arrangements describedin theinstallation section. The
tank and installation must conform to USCG Regulations.
Note: Fuel system installations must conform to USCG
Regulations.
5.1Fuel Tank
Most marine generator sets draw fuel fromthe same fuel
tank as the craft’s propulsion engine(s). If the tank’s fuel
pickup opening allows a multiple dip tube, use a multiple
dip tube arrangement. See Figure 5-1. The multiple dip
tube arrangement incorporates a shorter dip tube for the
generator set and a longer dip tube for the propulsion
engine. With this arrangement, the generator set runs
out of fuel before the propulsion engine during a low fuel
supply situation. Equip the fuel system with a fuel/water
separator to remove any accumulated dirt and water.

5.2Fuel Lines
5.3Fuel Filters
Locate the fuel return line as far as practical from the fuel
pickup to allow the tank fuel to cool the return fuel before
delivery back to the fuel injectors. Incoming fuel cools
the injectors to achieve maximum engine efficiency.
Note: Do not tee into the main propulsion engine’s fuel
line.
Under no circumstances should the propulsion engine
and generator set share pickup or return lines (through a
tee arrangement) that would allow the larger engine to
starve fuel from the smaller engine. It is possible that the
operation of either engine could completely drain the
fuel line of the other engine and make starting difficult.
Use a flexible hose section to connect the metallic line
from the fuel tank to the engine’s fuel pump inlet
connection point. Also, use a flexible hose section to
connect the metallic line from the fuel tank to the fuel
return connection point. The flexible section allows the
generator set to vibrate during operation.

6.1AC Voltage Connections
Make AC connections to the generator set inside the
controller box (4--27EFOZ and 5--32EOZ models) or
inside the junction box (33--125EFOZ and 40--150EOZ
models). Typically, the generator set connects to a
ship-to-shore transfer switch that allows the use of
shore/utility power when docked or generator set power
when docked or at sea. The wiring then connects to a
main circuit breaker box (panel board) that distributes
branch circuits throughout the craft. See Figure 6-1 for
AC voltage connections to the generator set.See
Section 8 for reconnection of the generator set.
6.2Circuit Protection
The AC circuit breakers (optional) protect the wiring
from the AC circuit breakers to the vessel’s distribution
panel. AC circuit breakers trip when they detect a faultin
the output circuit.
After correcting the fault, reset the AC circuit breaker(s)
by placing them in the ON position. Restart the unit. Do
not start the unit under load.See Figure 6-2 or
Figure 6-3 for AC circuit breaker ratings. The unit’s
voltage configuration determines the circuit breaker
selection.

6.3Installation In Steel or
Aluminum Vessels
Installation of a generator set in a vessel constructed of
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
neutralconductors,ground-faultprotection,and
isolation of galvanic currents.
The scope of these topics is too extensive to be fully
discussed here. Consult your local marine authority for
more information.
Before installing the generator set, check the available
wiring diagrams in the operation manual to become
familiar with the electrical system.

Distancebetween
Batteries and their installation must conform to USCG
Regulations 183.420 (a) through (g). Provide generator
sets with batteries separate from the propulsion
engine’s whenever possible.The starting/charging
systems of both the generator set and the engine must
have a common negative (--) ground.
USCGRegulation 183.415,Grounding,requires
connection of a common conductor to each grounded
cranking-motor circuit. Size the conductor to match the
larger of theengine’s two battery cables. Figure 6-5 lists
cable sizes for generator set battery connections at
various ambient temperatures. Connecting a common
conductor to each grounded cranking motor circuit
prevents the starting motor current from using
alternative electrical paths should the cranking motor
ground circuit be restricted or open because of oxidation
or loose hardware. Alternative electrical paths include
metallic fuel lines that can pose a fire hazard. See
Figure 6-7 and Section 7 for battery connections to the
generator set.

Appendix A Generator Selection and Wattage Requirements
Consider total wattage requirements (lights, motors,
appliances) when selecting a generator set or when
sizing wattage usage in which available space and
construction limit the size of the generator set.
Motors
When figuring generator set capacity requirements for
loads that include electric motors, consider the high
current demanded by the motors during startup. The
inrush or starting current is typically 2--3 times higher
than that required when the motor reaches normal
operating speed. Allow reserve for inrush demands plus
other loads which could be on the line as the electric
motor starts. Use Figure 1 as a guide when selecting
generator set capacity requirements involving motor
loads.

Figure 1Motor Requirements
Lighting
To calculate lighting load, add the wattage of each
generator set-operated lamp. Note that not all of the
lights or lamps are on the generator set AC circuit; some
are DC powered by a 12-volt battery. Make sure the
calculated total wattage includes only lights actually on
the generator set AC circuit.
Air Conditioners
The starting characteristics of air conditioners vary
greatly; one 12,000 Btu unit has, for example, lower
starting requirements than a 10,000 Btu unit of another
variety. When using only one unit, there is usually no
starting problem, provided the lighting and appliance
load is not too high when starting the unit.
Simultaneous starting of two air conditioning units,
however, can present problems if the generator set
capacity is marginal. Because of the variation in starting
characteristics among air conditioners, this publication
makes no statements regarding multiple-motor starting
capabilities of the generator set covered. Consider
delayed starting or use of easy-starting devices on air
conditioner units whenever simultaneously starting
more than one motor.
See Figure 2 for typical air conditioner requirements.
Information will vary with manufacturer.
Appliances
Generator sets often furnish AC for appliances such as
TV, stereo, electric water heater, etc. With the exception
of the resistance-type loads such as the water heater,
requirements for appliances are usually low. Do not
overlook such loads when figuring total requirements.
Allow reserve capacity for anticipated appliance loads to
avoid overloading a generator set.
