1B3: Engine Room
Preferred access to the
engine room is through the floor
hatch by the lower helm centered in
the salon. Engine room lighting is
turned on by breakers in the ship’s
DC and AC power panels by the
master stateroom steps.
The engines are to each side.
At the aft end of center bilge are
each engine’s sea strainers, and just
to starboard of the center line are the
fresh water pumps and water filter.
Of course, at the rear of each
engine is its transmission, and on the
starboard engine’s transmission is
the hydraulic pump for the stabilizers,
while above and aft of it are circuit
breakers, the Diesel furnace water
manifold, and the fresh water heater.
Above and aft of the port engine’s
transmission are starting batteries.
The engine shafts lead from
the transmission couplings through
the hull via virtually maintenance-free
shaft logs/packing glands.
Forward of each engine are its
dual fuel filters, and then to port the
stabilizer fin machinery, generator
starting battery, watermaker pump, watermaker, Naiad Stabilizer system, generator fuel filter,
electrical controls, charger, generator, furnace water conditioner, inverter, generator coolant
overflow bottle, and wiring panels.
In spite of the substantial equipment aboard, service access is reasonable.
