DIESEL GENERATOR (WESTERBEKE)

Chapter 10

Selected yachts feature Westerbeke diesel generators. If equipped, the generator must be decommissioned for storage in freezing climates. Your Regal dealer or marine professional has special training along with the necessary parts for winterizing your generator. If tackling the procedure yourself, here are the basics of winterizing the generator. Refer to your generator operator’s manual for further information. The vessel must be in the water for the procedures below. Remove any sound shield enclosure as equipped.

A 50-50 solution of antifreeze and distilled water is recommended for use in the fresh water cooling system at all times. This solution may require a higher concentration depending on the area’s winter climate. Check the solution to make sure the antifreeze protection is sufﬁ cient. If you need to add antifreeze, drain an appropriate amount from the engine block and add a more concentrated measure. Start the engine to ensure a complete circulation and mixture of the antifreeze concentration thoughout the cooling system. Then recheck the antifreeze solution’s strength with a bulb type checker.

With the engine warm, drain all the engine oil from the oil sump. Remove and replace the oil ﬁ lter and ﬁ ll the sump with new oil. Use the correct grade of oil according to the engine lubricating oil section of your generator operator manual. Run the engine and check for proper oil pressure and make sure it is leak free. Do not leave the old engine oil in the crankcase over the lay-up period. The old oil and combustion products combine to produce harmful chemicals which can reduce the life of your engine’s internal parts.

Change the fuel ﬁ lter elements on the engine and bleed the fuel system as needed. Start the engine and let it run for 5-10 minutes to make sure no air is left in the fuel system. Check for any leaks that may have been created in the fuel system during this servicing, correcting them as needed. Operating the engine 5-10 minutes will help allow movement of the treated fuel through the injection equipment on the engine.

Close the through hull seacock. Remove the raw water intake hose from the ﬁ tting. Place the end of this hose into a ﬁ ve gallon bucket of clean fresh water. Before starting the engine check the zinc anode found in the primary heat exchanger on the engine and clean or replace it as required and also clean any zinc debris from inside the heat exchanger where the zinc anode is located. Clean the raw water strainer. Start the engine and allow the raw water pump to draw the fresh water through the system. When the bucket is empty stop the engine and reﬁ ll the bucket with an antifreeze solution slightly stronger than needed for winter freeze protection in your area. Start the engine and allow all of this mixture to be drawn through the raw water system. Once the bucket is empty, stop the engine. This antifreeze mixture should protect the raw water circuit from freezing during the winter lay-up, as well as providing corrosion protection. Remove the impeller from your raw water pump (some antifreeze mixture will accompany it, so catch it in a bucket). Examine the bucket. Get a replacement if needed and a cover gasket. Do not replace the impeller (into the pump) until recommissioning, but replace the cover and gasket.

Top off your fuel tanks off with number 2 diesel fuel. Fuel additives such as BIOBOR and STABIL should be added at this time to control algae and condition the fuel. Care should be taken that the additives used are compatible with the primary fuel ﬁ lter/water seperator used in the system. Change the element in your primary fuel ﬁ lter/ water seperator and clean the seperator sediment bowl.

Storage & Winterization

MODELS W/ SEA KEY SYSTEM

If you winterize or store your boat for an extended time, and it is not connected to shore power, it is recommended that you put the MSU into off season power mode. The power mode puts the MSU into a very low power state, minimizing the drain on the boat’s battery and the internal battery of the MSU. While in this mode, the MSU will continue monotoring the ﬂ oat switch and SOS button, responding immediately to either alarm. However, the MSU disables the following functions:

1. GeoFence violation

2. Responding to website commands, including polling the vessel’s location and status

3. Battery voltage monotoring

Note: If someone attemps to start the engine, power switch alarm will trigger if enabled.

Off season can be commanded from the operator mode or from the Sea Key Response Center. Swithching on the main battery and/or starting the engine will stop Off Season and restore normal MSU functions.

Enable Off Season Power Mode

1. On the main menu, select Off Season Power Mode.

2. Press the Enter button. The Off Season Power Mode screen will display the instructions. Press the down arrow button to read the instructions.

3. Press the Enter button. to put the SeaKey in Offf Season Power Mode. The Conﬁ rm Off Season Power Mode screen is displayed. Read the instructions.

4.Press the Enter button to put SeaKey in Off Season Power Mode and return to the main menu.

5. The Off Season Power Mode is fully activated when the main battery switch is turned to the Off position.

TELEVISION:

The television manufacturer recommends that the unit be removed from the vessel in freezing climates. To remove the ﬂ at screen do the following:

1. Pull out the power plug from the rear of the television.

2. Unscrew the antenna cable.

3. While someone holds the ﬂ at screen, remove the screws that hold the television to the bracket.

4. Remove the television and store at room temperature.

NOTICE

WASTE/TOILET SYSTEM:

1. Pump out waste holding tank, ﬂ ush the tank with fresh

water and pump out again.

2. With non-toxic propylene glycol antifreeze in the fresh

water tank, operate head until antifreeze ﬂ ows into bowl

of head. Allow time between ﬂ ushes for the vacuum to

build up.

3. Operate macerator until antifreeze has a steady

ﬂ ow coming from the discharge ﬁ tting. Pour non-toxic

propylene glycol antifreeze solution in head and ﬂ ush

head as needed to produce enough ﬂ ow to winterize the

macerator.

4. Leave at least 2 gallons of non-toxic propylene glycol

WATER SYSTEM-FRESH

1. Turn on the fresh water pump switch.

2. Open all faucets including transom shower and allow

tank to empty.

3. Drain the water heater; shut off water pump switch.

4. Mix nontoxic antifreeze with water in accordance with

the manufacturer’s recommendations.

5. Pour solution into the fresh water tank.

6. Turn on fresh water pump switch.

7. Open each cold water faucet one by one beginning

antifreeze solution in the holding tank during storage.

USE A SPECIAL NON-TOXIC ANTIFREEZE

IN THE FRESH WATER & WASTE SYSTEM

WHICH IS AVAILABLE AT RV AND

MARINE DEALERS.

DO NOT USE AN AUTOMOTIVE

TYPE ANTIFREEZE.

IT CAN BE HIGHLY

POISONOUS AND CORROSIVE.

with the one furthest away from the tank and purge the

system until a steady stream ﬂ ows from the faucet. Then

close the faucet.

8. Repeat step 7 for hot water faucets.

9. Shut off water pump switch.

10. Pour a quart of antifreeze into shower drain. Run

the shower pump until a steady stream ﬂ ows from the

discharge ﬁ tting.

11. Leave at least 2 gallons of antifreeze solution in the

holding tank during storage.
