Dedicating a 12-volt battery to the generator provides an important safety
feature. A dedicated battery enables you to start the generator regardless of the
condition of the propulsion engine batteries. If the batteries become discharged
to the point where they are unable to start an engine, start the generator, then
turn on the engine battery charger. When the engine batteries are recharged to
an adequate level, you can then start the propulsion engines.
Never turn the generator battery master disconnect switch to the “OFF”
position while the generator is operating. Doing this can damage the
generator or its alternator wiring.
3. The generator engine uses a seawater cooling system. This system
includes a strainer that prevents debris in the seawater from enter-
ing the cooling system’s water pump. Make sure the cooling system’s
seacock is closed. Remove and clean the strainer. The strainer is
located just starboard of the generator. Refer to 9.7.4 Engine Room
for the exact location of the seacock and strainer.
4. Reinstall the strainer. If the strainer leaks when the seacock is opened,
close the seacock, then check the strainer for correct installation.
Do not operate the generator when its cooling system seacock is closed.
Operating the generator in this manner can damage it.
5. Open the cooling system’s seacock.
6. Turn the “house” battery bank master disconnect switch to the “ON”
position.
7. On the Safety Breaker Panel, switch the Main - One circuit breaker
“ON.”
8. On the DC Control Center, switch the Systems DC Main circuit
breaker “ON,” then switch the four Bilge Blower circuit breakers
“ON.”
9. Turn the bilge blowers “ON” using the Bilge Blower switch on the
DC Control Center.
Make sure the bilge blowers are operating properly by feeling for air
being blown from the bilge vents. These vents are located just aft of
both salon windows, above the side deck stairways.
