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
lubricating filter elements must be replaced at the time periods specified, and frequent checking for contaminants (water,
sediment, etc.) in the fuel system is also essential. Another
important factor is the consistent use

Whenever replacement parts are needed, always provide the
engine model number and serial number as they appear on
the silver and black nameplate located on the manifold. You
must provide us with this information so we may properly
identify your engine. In addition, include a complete part
description and part number for each part needed (see the
separately furnished Parts List). Insist upon WESTERBEKE

COOLING
SYSTEM
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
exchanger, similar in function to an automotive radiator. Raw
water flows through the tubes
fresh water coolant flows around the tubes; engine heat trans-
ferred to the fresh water coolant is conducted through the
tube walls to the raw water which is then pumped into the
exhaust system where finally it is discharged overboard. In
other words, the engine is cooled by fresh water coolant, this
coolant is cooled by raw water, and the raw water carries the
transferred heat overboard through the exhaust system. The
fresh water coolant and raw water circuits are independent
each other. Using only fresh water coolant within the engine
allows the cooling water passages to stay clean and free from
harmful deposits.

PLUGS
DESCRIPTION
The glow plugs are wired through the preheat solenoid.
When PREHEAT is pressed at the control panel this solenoid
should
"click" on and the glow plug should begin to get hot.
INSPECTION
To inspect the plug, remove the electrical terminal connections, then unscrew or unclamp each plug from the cylinder
head. Thoroughly clean each plug's tip and threads with a
soft brush and cleaning solution to remove all the carbon and
oil deposits. While cleaning, examine the tip for wear and
bum erosion;
if
it has eroded too much, replace the plug.
TESTING
An accurate way to test glow plugs is with an ohmmeter.

DESCRIPTION
The transmission's gear ration is 2.47 to

gear. The transmission transmits its power with case-hardened helical gears and, in reverse, an intermediate gear. The
reversing process is carried out by a servo double disc system. For safety reasons, the transmission is
lubricating oil for shipment. Before leaving the factory, each
transmission is thoroughly tested with oil in the transmission.
This testing, among other things provides all
parts with a coating

year

the transmission is properly stored.

LAY-UP & RECOMMISSIONING
General
Many owners rely on their boatyards to prepare their craft,
including engines and generators, for lay-up during the offseason or for long periods
accomplish lay-up preparation themselves.
The procedures which follow will allow you to perform your
own lay-up and recommissioning, or will serve as a checklist
if
others do the procedures.
These procedures should provide protection for your
engine/generator during a lay-up and also help familiarize
you with its 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.
