MARINE ENGINES INSTALLATION
You can implement the following procedure:
■
First adjust value X from 5 to 7 mm by operating nuts “B” and “C”.
■
Fasten the supports on the engine brackets by tightening nut “A “.
■
Place the engine on the keelson and check if there is clearance below the flexible support.
■
If this clearance is below 2 mm it can be eliminated by operating nuts “B” and “A”.
■
If it is above 2 mm it is necessary to insert a plate with the right thickness.
■
Carry out alignment with the suitable concentricity checks of the axis line, possibly after 1 or 2 days
of support settling.
■
Value X shall not be above 10 mm; if it is necessary to further lift the engine support, insert some
shims between the flexible support and the keelson.
An important warning to be observed for the installation of flexible suspensions is to foresee the suit-
able hoses (fuel, exhaust, etc.) for the engine service connections, advisable also for rigid suspensions.
As to the relation among suspension, engine, axis line and the relevant connections we refer to what
stated above.
In the choice of the most suitable flexible suspension, when not supplied with the engine, the installer
shall refer to the indications and suggestions provided by the suspension supplier.
