Engine foundation
46
Steel, aluminium or wooden hull
Example of engine bed in a steel or aluminium hull.
The bed frame in a steel or wooden boat should be
designed as a welded steel structure. The plate thick-
ness should be sufficient to achieve a dimensionally
stable structure.
In a steel boat, the engine bed plane is welded to
each frame rib along their entire length.
In a wooden boat, the bed should be bolted to the
frame ribs with bolts and nuts.
The length of the engine bed should be extended as
far as possible to distribute the load.
If the engine has an extra PTO in the front end that
requires extra support, the bed should be designed to
accommodate this support. There must be space in
front of the PTO so that it can be dismantled.
Take into consideration and calculate brackets and
foundations etc. for other systems, fuel and exhaust
systems etc., and for extra equipment.
NOTE! If the engine in question is equipped with
inspection covers it is highly recommended (if clas-
sified, a must) to build mounting brackets (A) high
enough to ensure accessability.
