tainly be reasonable to immediately inject plenty penetrating oil through the intake stack and to slowly turn
the engine with the starter motor.
The cooling water can reach the exhaust area via the exhaust hose as well as via the cooling water feed.
6.8.1 Possible cause for water in the exhaust hose
6.8.1.1 Possible cause: exhaust hose
If the cause is the exhaust hose itself, the following points are to be checked at the hose:
a) Position of the waterlock is too high. The water reaches the exhaust hose.
b) Position of the waterlock is too far away from the middle of the generator. The water reaches the exhaust hose in
tilted position.
c) The waterlock is too small relating to the length of the exhaust hose.
6.8.1.2 Possible cause: cooling water hose
If the generator is not clearly installed 600 mm over the water line, the cooling water feed must be equipped with a
„venting valve“ which is at least led out 600 mm over the water line. (This position must also be assured in every
tilted position. Therefore, the venting valve should be located in the ships’ center line, so that it cannot move in tilted
position).
a) Position of the venting valve is too low. The water flows into the exhaust area when the ship is tilted.
b) Position of the venting valve is too far from the ships’ center line. The water reaches the exhaust area when the
ship is tilted.
c) The venting valve does not work, because it jams or it is clotted. (The venting valve’s function needs to be
checked regularly.)
As it consistently happens that functioning risks are not realised during the laying of the exhaust hose, the following
explanations refer explicitly to the exhaust hose. Here, the location, the size and the position of the „waterlock“ play
a very decisive role:
6.8.2 Installation area of the waterlock
Concerning a water-cooled exhaust system, it must be regarded that - under no circumstances - cooling water from
the exhaust hose can get into the exhaust elbow area at the engine. If this happens, the cooling water can get into
the combustion chamber via an open discharge valve. This would lead to irreparable damage at the engine.
In addition to that, one has to reckon with possible tilted positions of sailing yachts, which makes the position of the
waterlock even more important. In general one could say that:
The deeper the waterlock is located underneath the generator, the better the protection from entering water into the
combustion chamber.
The picture below shows that the distance between the critical point at the exhaust elbow and the maximum permis-
sible water level in the exhaust hose is stated with 600 mm. This distance should be understood as a minimum dis-
tance.
