LOCATION AND MOUNTING
A solid, level mounting platform is very important for the proper operation of your generator. Select a location that will allow
adequate space on all sides for ventilation and servicing. Locate the generator away from living quarters and away from bilge
splash and vapors.
The mounting platform may be of wood, metal or fiberglass. It must be horizontal and should be as small as possible to
minimize vibrations. A low mounting platform is preferred because it will be stable and easy to build; a higher mounting
platform must be very sturdy to avoid resonance and vibrations (see illustrations).
A further solution to increase the dampening of vibrations is adding a plate between the generator and the boat's mounting
platform. This will also improve the sound insulation. For this plate not less than 3 cm thick wood and soft mounts. Position
these mounts one on each corner (see illustration). Mount the plate to the boat's platform, then mount the generator to the
plate.

FUEL LINES
Fuel supply line
In most installations, the generator would use the same fuel tank as the vessel's propulsion engine. If this is the case, the fuel
supply line to the generator should come from its own pick-up in the common fuel tank and not tee off the supply line to the
propulsion engine. To assure proper suction, the generator's fuel pump should not be more than 1 m above the bottom of
the fuel pick-up tube
.
Fuel return line
The fuel return line at the fuel tank should be extended down to the bottom of the tank in the same manner as the fuel pick-
up tube. This must be done in an installation where the fuel tank is located below the engine's fuel system. This precaution
insures against hard starting due to air displacing fuel siphoning out of the engine's fuel system through the return line when
the generator is shut down.
