Tilted position 15 degrees
The distance is, contrary to the original 600 mm, only 327
mm. This is very close to the critical point already.

The water level and the critical point at the exhaust elbow are
at the same level now. If the ship is sailed in a tilted position
of 30 degrees with an installation like that, the infiltration of
coolant into the combustion chamber is inevitable. Irrepara-
ble damages are preprogrammed.
Summary:
Concerning sailing yachts it must be regarded, that the water collector is mounted in center underneath the genera-
tor, at least in reference to the ships’ center line. Thus the water collector is prevented from ’leaking’ very strongly
when the ship is tilted.
The ’leaking’ of the water collector leads to a rise of the water level which then gets too close to the exhaust elbows’
critical point.
5.6.6 Exhaust / water separator
In order to reduce the noise level of the generator unit to a minimum, an optional exhaust outlet muffler can be
mounted next to the thru-hull fitting. Additionally there is a component at Fischer Panda, which acts as both an
"exhaust goose neck", and water separator. With this "exhaust/water separator" the cooling water is derived over a
separate pipe. The exhaust noises emanating from the exterior of the yacht are strongly decreased. Particularly the
"water splash".
