UNDERSTANDING
The diesel engine closely resembles the gasoline engine,
since the mechanism is essentially the same. The cylinders
are arranged above a closed crankcase; the crankshaft is
the same general type as that
diesel engine has the same
connecting rods and lubricating system.
Therefore, to a great extent, a diesel engine requires the
same preventive maintenance as a gasoline engine. The
most important factors are proper ventilation and proper
maintenance
Replacement

contamination (that is, water, sediment, etc.) in the fuel
system is also essential. Another important factor is the

Before starting your generator for the first time or after a prolonged layoff, check the following items:
• Check the engine oil level: add oil to maintain the level at

• Check the fuel supply and examine the fuel filter/separator
bowls for contaminants.
• Check the DC electrical system. Inspect wire connections
and battery cable connections.

DESCRIPTION
Westerbeke marine diesel engines are designed and equipped
for fresh water cooling. Heat produced in the engine by combustion and friction is transferred to fresh water coolant
which circulates throughout the engine. This circulating fresh
water coolant cools the engine block, its internal moving
parts, and the engine oil. The heat is transferred externally
from the fresh water coolant to raw water by means

In order to adjust this potentiometer correctly, we advise

LAY·UP
&
RECOMMISSIONING
GENERAL
Many owners rely on their boatyards to prepare their craft,
including engines and generators, for lay-up during the
of
off-season or for long periods
to accomplish lay-up preparation themselves.
The procedures which follow will allow you to perform your
own lay-up and recommissioning, or you may use them
check list if others do the procedures.
These procedures should afford your engine protection
during a lay-up and also help familiarize you with the
maintenance needs
If
you have any questions regarding lay-up procedures, call
your local servicing dealer; he will be more than willing to
provide assistance.
