Electrical System
6.11 Generator (Optional)
The generator is supplied 12 volt power for the
ignition and starter motor by the House battery
bank and is located in the aft systems compart-
ment. The generator oil and coolant should be
checked whenever you check the oil in the main
engines.
A switch in the cabin generator control panel
controls the starting, running and stopping of the
generator. Lights or an LED screen in the panel
monitor engine temperature, exhaust temperature
and oil pressure.
The generator can also be operated from a control
panel on the generator. The circuit breakers and
fuses that protect the generator AC and DC circuits
are also on this panel or on the side of the panel
control box. An owner operator’s manual for the
generator has been supplied with this manual.
Please refer to it for details on generator operation
and circuit protection.
The generator engine uses a closed cooling sys-
tem with a seawater-cooled heat exchanger. A
sacrificial anode in the seawater cooling system
protects generator components that are in contact
with seawater. There is coolant recovery tank for
the engine coolant mounted on the bulkhead near
the generator. Make sure the fluid level in the
coolant recovery tank is kept between the maxi-
mum and minimum lines of the tank. You should
also check the exhaust port for water flow
each time the generator is started. If there
is no discharge within thirty seconds, shut down
the generator, then find and correct the problem.
The seawater cooling system includes a strainer
that prevents debris in the seawater from enter-
ing the cooling pump. The strainer and a seacock

valve is located in the mechanical systems com-
partment bilge near the generator. It is important
to check and clean the strainer regularly to ensure
the seawater system can circulate enough water to
provide cooling for the closed cooling and exhaust
systems on the generator. You should also make
sure the generator seacock valve is open and
