Locate the exhaust outlet at least 10 cm (4 in.) above the
waterline when the craft is loaded to maximum capacity.
Install an exhaust port with flap at the exhaust (transom)
outlet to prevent water backup in following seas or when
moving astern (backward). A lift in the exhaust piping
before exiting the boat prevents backwash. See
Figure 4-6, Item 1. Support the exhaust lines to prevent
the formation of water pockets.
Exhaust system guidelines for various generator set
locations follow. Information and illustrations of stern-
(rear) exhaust installations also apply to side-exhaust
installations. Where exhaust lines require passage
through bulkheads, use port- (left) or starboard- (right)
side exhaust outlets. This is especially true of
applications in which long exhaust lines to the transom
(rear) could cause excessive back pressure. See
Figure 4-5 for allowable back pressures.
